In a blast from the past, the Syrian rebels are back! They’re meeting minimal resistance and apparently heading for Damascus. The Iranians and Russians are already busy and can offer little help to Assad.
It is, of course, possible that an Islamist regime in Syria could be even more beastly than Assad’s, which would be saying a lot. On the other hand, it is certain that the fall of Assad would be a major blow to both the Russians and the Iranians. That sounds like a gamble worth taking.
Wouldn’t you love to hear a discussion between Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard on this topic? That would be worth the price of admission.
