After this past election we talk about civility with Steven Seltzer.

Taking his inspiration from a 16th century French manual on etiquette, young George Washington compiled his own set of instructions under the title, The Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior. These concise rules to live by have been studied and copied by millions of readers eager to absorb Washington’s secrets of success in life and work. Neither unduly severe nor sentimental, the rules have stood the test of time and still reverberate today.

From my over 40 years of experience in developing policy positions and making resource allocation decisions on military and international affairs, including several years as President Reagan’s Deputy Undersecretary of the Army, I have learned a lot.  I know that international agreements do not work when they include no adequate verification mechanisms.  There are plenty of examples, but the most recent relates to the 2013 agreement with Syria to relinquish their entire stockpile of chemical warfare material for the United States to destroy at our taxpayers’ expense. It is believed that ISIL has acquired the mustard gas they have increasingly used in recent weeks from chemical weapons stocks retained by the Syrian regime. This is an extremely serious violation that may have grave consequences for regional security.
