I have found a very interesting article on the New York Times paper,John Kerry Rushes in Where Obama Will Not Tread, that talked about the problems going on in Syria and how Mr. Obama is dealing with it all.  This is a very difficult situation for all in charge, but I feel like needs to be dealt with but with extreme care. The author, Peter Baker, talked about how Mr. Obama would like to almost hold back and let it almost resolve itself.  BUT, at the same time, I can see where he is coming from by not getting involved.  Obama also has the Secretary of State, John Kerry,  doing a lot of work for him because he is willing to go anywhere and do anything to try to find a resolution to this problem.  So while Obama is too busy,  Mr. Kerry is figuring out ways to solve this, as they say, “the engineering way”. “If there is a problem, it can be fixed.” John Kerry has a constant communication with the foreign minister which can be very beneficial in our situation. John Kerry is very helpful in our situation, and I believe that if anyone were to solve the problem the way they want, he would be the one to do so. This article shows almost exactly what Mr. Obama is doing by “watching over it” and what Mr. Kerry is doing by “trying to solve the problem.”  The author throws in there that the reason U.S. can’t just jump into Syria is because of the risk they have to our country.  I do believe that having someone other than the president help resolve the situation without putting the U.S. to war, is the smartest thing to do at the moment.  We need to do all that is possible in a peaceful way before attempting to play it rough.  Maybe to others that might seem like the wrong thing to do, but that is why I like this topic so much, to hear all the ways that this can be handled and all the results that can come with it. The articles intended audience is for everyone that lives in the United States, but can be inferred differently by different political beliefs, (how to act on Syria).  I also noticed that the author, Peter Baker, did an excellent job on keeping his opinion out of the story.  The article was very well written and deserves to be read because it is something very important that is happening right now and involves everyone, and if it doesn't involve everyone now, if the cards are played wrong, it can involve everyone later on.
