The AP is reporting that:
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says he would be willing to talk with Syrian President Bashar Assad to stem that nation’s violence.
Seems that wants:
… to seriously discuss a transition strategy to quell the Arab country’s four-year civil war.
Mr. Kerry is, of course, presently negotiating with Iran. Like most of the rest of the world, Mr. Assad will be studying the outcome of those talks. After four years, what new incentives can Kerry offer, except perhaps a better – and personally safer – arrangement that Assad could expect to get under a Republican administration.
