The Assad Agenda

There was the news that Syrian president Assad said he'll give away all of his country's chemical weapons.



Personally, I thought that it'd be super easy. Turns out it's not. Matter of fact, it has become a conversation of:

(1) Is he really going to give out all the weapons?

(2) Where are the weapons?

(3) Will the people who are getting the weapons be safe?

(4) Is Assad and/or his regime open to pinky promising that they'll totally do it?

(5) How would these things be destroyed?



Basically, everything's being talked about. Proportionately, this is a big battle of truth. So, who's telling the truth? Also, let's remember that it wasn't just this one chemical strike, but over one hundred thousand people have died during this conflict. And, it's in that number of one hundred thousand that I found something seemingly interesting (thanks to the UN), because a UN probe revealed that eight massacres were perpetrated by the Syrian government...



...with one other massacre being credited towards the rebels.



Additionally, the Committee of Independent Experts say that this isn't quite everything; that they are actually looking into nine other massacres right now.

There's also an untold number of men, women, and children who have just disappeared. I only wish that these people are held accountable for what they're doing.

All in all, with things advancing, it'd be very interesting to see how things progress, with possibly disposing of these weapons (if that's actually a possibility).
