Paris Aftermath

Watching Charlie Rose last night and was struck by Roger Cohen's dispirited outlook from the attacks which reached a point of mindlessness.  If ISIS's sole purpose was to taunt our leaders and opinion makers into mindless reaction then they succeeded.  Michael Weiss on the other hand appears to have a deep nuanced understanding of Syria and Iraq, I just downloaded his ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, that recognizes Secretary of State John Kerry's cease fire effort for Syria negotiated in Vienna without Syrians is laughably delusional.  In a nut shell the good guys lay down their arms before Assad's and Daesh's assault.  Deep understanding shines a light on a pathway to peace and apparently its what Kerry lacks about Syria.
