What-if

As I listened to President Obama speaking about changing strategy in Syria, he began to play the what-if game. What if I send troops to Syria and then what they move to Yemen and if I send troops there what if they move to Africa and so on and I was reminded of my days as a financial planner. I would talk to people about setting up a will or a living trust and they would start with the what-if questions and after 20 minutes of that, they would say they are not prepared to do anything at this time but would think it over. The end result is that they never got their will or trust set up. It was always easier to wait and see and I think that kind of summarizes Obamas plan for Syria.
