The Syria Saga: Syria Accepts Russian Plan for International Custody of ChemWea

In the continuing headache as to what to do with Syria, a new development indicates that Syria has accepted a Russian proposal to keep Syrian Chemical Weapons under International Custody. The US has not closed its doors on said proposal.

The challenge however is who will compose the international team, where will they be deployed, for how long will they be deployed, how will they be deployed and who will guarantee their security are some questions that have to be answered. Will the rebels, in a fit of anger over the international refusal to strike Syria, vent its anger and frustration at the UN inspectors monitoring the ChemWea? Will the Syrian government be truthful about its stockpile of ChemWea? More importantly, will the Syrian government provide adequate security to the UN weapons inspectors? Or whatever they will be called.

It is clear that the world is really not in the mood for another potential misadventure in another Middle Eastern blackhole. Even in France, there is an increasing call against Pres. Hollande's plan to attack Syria. In America itself, more and more people are venting their feelings against the plan to strike Syria en masse.

As of date, the plan to put Syrian ChemWea under international supervision will provide a good alternative to a military strike. It will however, signal to some Syrian regime personalities that the world is in fact not going to do anything, regardless of what the regime will do, and potentially bring about more horrific acts later on.

And so the story continues.....
