Look for Assad to invite the Israelis to rescue the Fijians. He's playing this one pretty wisely by saying it's okay with him if the West kills off ISIS. Makes him look all nice and cooperative and he gets the advantage of some major players killing off the crazies for him.
If there are any negotiations to be attempted with Syria, it'll be easier to deal with Assad rather than the ISIS nuts. He's secular and educated.
We need to just walk away. We got no horse in that race. Humaniatrian aid for the refugees, limited arms for the Kurds, and prosecution/deportation of residents of Canda participating, but that's it. This is a convulsion of violence that no one can stop.
