Line crossing

David Blair of the UK Telegraph says that by crossing Obama’s red line, Assad has forced the United States to act in Syria. But isn’t the correct interpretation that Assad’s crossing of Obama’s red line has forced Obama to act (or lose what little credibility he has left)?

This doesn't sit well. Using the language and actions of school yard dares seems a strange basis for a foreign policy.
