Bilal Abdul Kareem, Middle East Monitor: Why there can only be a military solution in Syria
Most of the outside world watched in horror at news that the ill-fated Aleppo aid convoy was blasted and burned.
Words such as “unbelievable” and “shocking” filled news broadcasts. However, here in besieged Aleppo, the events of that day were neither unbelievable, nor shocking.

WNU Editor: I have also somewhat come to the conclusion that the Syrian conflict is now a war that can only be resolved my military means .... and will it happen only over a long period of time. All the sides are no longer interested in talking to each other .... and all sides are too hardened to even contemplate negotiation and compromise. The result then is all too predictable .... a long and grinding insurgency .... with the involvement of outsides either directly or through proxies. My prediction .... while rebel held-Aleppo may fall, controlling these territories with a heavy Syrian military presence and having the means to conquer additional rebel held regions will be very difficult for a Syrian Army that has suffered enormous casualties in the past 5 years. There is a limit on what the Syrian regime can do .... and I suspect that this will be more than evident as time passes by. As a result .... the war will slowly grind on until the rebellion has been finally crushed ..... sighhh .... I can easily this going on for the next few years.
