For the past week, Fault Lines has been closely monitoring events and statements regarding Syria. On today's show, Dr. Lina Murad, a former Board Member with The Syrian American Medical Society, comes in-studio to give her organization's take on the situation leading to a heated and impassioned conversation.

The emergence of social media has had major impacts on our political discourse including a shift from more careful consideration in commentary to impulsive statements and reactions.

For the final segment of the week, Michael Krieger of LibertyBlitzkrieg.com joins the show to give his take on Syria and those pushing for greater involvement in region. Given the gravity of the current situation, is now the time for a massive anti-war movement in America?
