Do not forget the little ones, those who are helpless and cannot defend themselves. This is where the American Military should be used. People call out to America. Their plight is truly disastrous. Are their cries heard? Do those in high places hear these lowly voices? Right now the cries of Syria reach the ears of America. They call on you and on your President to come to their aid. They are being massacred by overwhelming power. What is your response? How do you act? The judgment against you will be severe.

The purpose for military strength is not to impose your will or further your interests. Military power is meant to keep the peace. I give you bullets and bombs so that bullets are not fired and bombs are not dropped. Weapons are meant to deter those who would take advantage of weakness.

When a subjugated and suffering people are experiencing overwhelming military power and they cry out to you, then go to their help. Shield them, force the persecutors to withdraw. This is what American intervention should mean to the world, the end of conflicts, not their beginning. The establishing of a just order, not the imposition of force. These cries of the poor will not go away. They must be listened to and action taken.
