We sent a message years ago when we turned our back on the Shah of Iran, for whatever reason.
People really question our word, and it goes beyond one administration to the other.
He is our President, and we need to help him gain some status and support in his efforts to negotiate with countries around the world.
I believe any President has the right to use force and can't wait for Congress sometimes to spend 2 weeks or 3 weeks to decide whether they want to authorize it.
