Peace Talks Scheduled - Geneva, January 2014
Hoping some progress can finally be made towards establishing a cease-fire and a transitional government.
Iran should be happy; they've been pushing (at least publicly) for their ally Mr. Assad to compromise, and they just succeeded in having US sanctions against them partially lifted in exchange for agreeing to some downscaling (with UN inspections/supervision) in their nuclear production and applications; six month agreement signed and long term agreement in progress.
Mr. Netanyahu is, of course, steaming that the US is negotiating with Israel's foes, Syria and Iran. I'm sure his next encounter with Mr. Obama will be a very chilly one.
IMO, more peace and less existing and potential WMDs in the Middle East is a good thing, for however long it lasts.
