COMMENT:

I disagree with Phyllis on this issue. It is impossible to negotiate with a bloody regime which uses such unprecedented brutality against its own people. How can you negotiate with a butcher whose slogan is, "Assad or we will burn the country!"

The answer is quite easy: If I lived in Syria and the options were either (a) 'keep Assad' or (b) 'burn the country' - I would vote for (a).

How.
