Three truly progressive cases for a new US approach to its military intervention in Syria

I offered criticism this summer of one, self-labeled “progressive” case for keeping US troops in Syria. Dareen at ICG as well as Thanassis & Michael at TCF have all offered a truly progressive vision that needs to be the center of serious discussion in our Party and beyond. Thanassis & I have disagreed on several points as well as approaches over the years, but his piece with Michael Wahid Hanna is really an interesting & compelling case & much closer to a progressive vision: tcf.org/content/report as is Dareen’s here. 3/3 I don’t know Daniel Serwer, but his piece “A not so progressive case for withdrawing from Syria” is also an important corrective here.
