SYRIAN DREAMS

In my dreams, the world declares a ceasefire in Syria, and marches in and takes away all of Assad's chemical weapons. The extremely brave men who do this would be allowed to return fire and should be given air coverage. But dreams are not foreign policy.

Bombing Assad does not secure the chemical weapons. Israel said that it knew where all the chemical weapons are located. NO ONE wants chemical weapons loose in a world which contains people crazy enough to use them.

If NATO and the neighbors of Syria agree, then Assad and the rebels would be TOLD that the foreign troops are coming in ONLY to secure and REMOVE all chemical weapons in Syria. The troops should be covered by air support, given tanks, and weapons to defend from attack. 

Assad is acting like a child, destroying what he can not have. If a child misuses a bow and arrow, you take away the bow and arrow.

I can dream, but foreign policy is complex. There may be many reasons why my idea would not work.
