With the liberation of Aleppo, what's next for Syria and its people? As Daesh mounts a comeback in Palmyra, the terrorist threat remains far from over. Obama's decision to lift restrictions on arming Syrian opposition groups, only strengthens the consternation of Russia and those among us who take a skeptical view of US actions and policy in the region as a whole.
