@ ImaStill you naive Americans see things in simple terms, have you learned NOTHING from recent history? Assad is just a figure head, a puppet whose strings are pulled by hidden forces, he can no more call the conflict to cease than you or I. This an ancient war being fought with today’s weaponry ( including cynical abuse of the West’s democratic ideals) that will continue to exhaustion whatever steps the West may take. The best we can do is prevail on the weapons suppliers to cease the flow until all the combatants have to hand is sticks and stones..
