Max Fisher’s nine questions about Syria you were afraid to ask is well worth reading if you don’t feel like you’ve got a firm grip on what’s been going on there. I had only minor quibbles, but overall I think he explained the conflict very concisely and also made some prognostications that are, sadly, going to be accurate.
I suppose we could try to fill in any blanks. Do you know anything about Syria that you’d like to share? Have any questions? We can figure it out.
