I read this pdf and thought it made some good points….if you would like to see what I mean then spend a few minutes and see for yourself……

There are so many players in the Syrian saga that one needs a scorecard to separate them out…..and each one of those players has an idea of the proper way to end the situation in Syria….the problem, as I see it, there are very few that take Syrians into the equation..
