I've Been Thinking:
The Geneva Conference dedicated to creating a resolution in Syria has begun.
The conference has all the necessary components - for dismal failure. Actually, this conference has more of a chance of failure than the peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
How can the conference even hope to succeed when there is not even an agreement on the direction of a resolution? Until now, even agreed upon cease fires have failed to last more than 20 hours.
How are the parties going to adhere to a peace accord or to devising a path that leads to the resolution of a three year old bloodbath?
Ceasefires are child's play relative to the solutions needed here.
Ceasefires were based on religious and calendar dates that were easy to quantify and understand. They ceasefires were seen as goals that all sides could relate to.
A general resolution to the conflict? No way.
Assad is feeling more and more powerful. He is gaining strength and amassing more areas under his control with every passing day. The rebels are on the run - and the rebels are fighting one another.
Believe me, this conference will not yield the end that either the United States or the United Nations hope for.
