Surely our inaction with respect to Syria is a poor preceden

Summary

This quote highlights the inconsistency in our approach to the war on terror, particularly regarding the Syrian conflict. By failing to take action or intervene in Syria's crisis, our inaction conveys a negative message and sets a poor precedent. It suggests that we may not prioritize effectively combating terrorism, or that our commitment to the cause is inconsistent. It questions the efficacy of our efforts, and implies that if we truly aim to combat terrorism, we must display a more unified and decisive approach in addressing conflicts like Syria.

Oh! Pilot! 'tis a fearful night,There's danger on the deep,I'll come and pace the deck with thee,I do not dare to sleep.Go down, the sailor cried, go down,This is no place for thee;Fear not! but trust in Providence,Wherever thou mayst be.Ah! Pilot, dangers often metWe all are apt to slight,And thou hast known these raging wavesBut to subdue their might.It is not apathy, he cried,That gives this strength to me,Fear not but trust in Providence,Wherever thou mayst be.On such a night the sea engulphedMy father's lifeless form;My only brother's boat went downIn just so wild a storm;And such, perhaps, may be my fate,But still I say to thee,Fear not but trust in Providence,Wherever thou mayst be.
