My first thought was, "This has to be from The Onion."

I'm all for peace, but only if it's real. Fake peace is worse then outright war.

And given the track record of Syria, I'm imagining 'peace' will be something like the story of the rat and the python. It goes something like this:

The snake is freezing to death, he begs the rat to be let into his rathole to warm up.

The rat says, "Your a snake! You'll eat me!"

The snake says, "No, I won't! You'll have saved my life! I'll be greatful!"

The rat says, "Well, OK, I guess."

The snake warms up, and promptly coils around the rat.

The rat says, "But I saved your life! Why are you eating me?"

The snake says: "Sorry, that's just what I do, I'm a snake. You knew that before you saved me."

One of the few statements James Baker--of the now infamous Iraq Study Group--made that sounded reasonable to me was that "Syria can be flipped." I think the Syrians are too practical to burn in the same conflagration that Iran is hellbent on bringing on itself.

And if she believes she can trust Assad to honor any agreement he might make, she's an even bigger fool than she revealed herself to be this past summer.




I agree.

Sounds like a Democrat campaign speech--laudable bromides, like "bring us together", cure cancer, give everyone a living wage, etc. As was said, the devil is in the details, and this list is ephemera, it seems to me.
