Syria is burning, after a two year civil war, the lethality and the suffering is escalating, and global markets are being affected.
It has been apparent for over a year that Assad is done. There is a condo in Cannes waiting for him. It is only a question of how much loot he gets to take with him.
One reason for the duration of the conflict is the lack of agreement amongst the sponsors of the opposition forces on what comes next. This essay will describe some of the forces in play, and speculate on possible outcomes. My thesis is that the duration of the conflict is due, in part, by the lack of consensus of the sponsors of what happens "After Assad"
