Ryan was my Ex s first political boss and a brilliant Arabist and brave and courageous Foreign Service Officer. But I respectfully disagree that we are responsible for anything other than helping with diplomacy, multilateral action, the humanitarian crisis, and with being an honest broker (at least publicly). Perhaps we can be offering other help in nonpublic ways, but I certainly do not feel that we owe a great deal more blood and treasure than we have already expended.
