This is fabulous news for all who love peace:

It represents the apparent success of diplomacy, the
rule of law and most of all: sanity!
It provides the potential for hope and succor to the
beleaguered people of Syria.
It represents the rejection of the Neocon approach to
foreign policy promoted by most Republican presidential
candidates as well as Hillary Clinton and to a lesser
extent, Bernie Sanders.
It underscores the position of Republican front-runner, Donald Trump, who has backed Russia’s presence in Syria and said he was willing to work with Putin for peace.
It further represents the rejection of Turkey’s aggressive policy towards its southern neighbor and the prospect that it will be ejected from or censured by NATO.
It is a major step towards isolating ISIS and those allied with it who are now even more vulnerable to containment or elimination from the battlefield.
After five brutal years of needless fighting with major loss
of life and disruption to the sovereign nation of Syria, the
people of that devastated country now have at least a
glimmer of hope that things may turn around and that
peace will be restored.
