Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss whether President Obama should start a war after Secretary of State John Kerry said there is clear evidence that Syria used poison gas against rebels and civilians. Should he wait for more evidence from U.N. inspectors? What is the proper role of the U.S., and should the issue be taken to Congress?

Joining Scheer and host Matt Miller are Matthew Continetti, opinion editor of the Weekly Standard, and Robin Wright, joint fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace and Woodrow Wilson Center.
