• Dexter Filkins writes ominously on Hezbollah’s public commitment to aiding Bashar Assad in Syria. [TNY]

• Ray Takeyh opines on how Americans should approach any intervention in Syria. In short: Go big or stay home. [NYT]

• Gustav Niebuhr reviews Naomi Schaefer Riley’s new book on American intermarriage. A really great read. [NYT]
