Physics teaches us that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. That isn�t always true in diplomacy, but it�s usually dangerous to assume it won�t. Thanks to the beating of war drums over Syria, the US has ordered the evacuation of non-essential diplomatic personnel from yet another country in the Middle East:

The State Department on Friday ordered nonessential U.S. diplomats to leave Lebanon due to security concerns as the Obama administration and Congress debate military strikes on neighboring Syria.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

"If people can�t trust not only the executive branch but also don�t trust Congress, and don�t trust federal judges, to make sure that we�re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we�re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
