Full Extracted Text

Complete text extracted from the document (768 characters)

Assad slaughtered 200,000 of his people
including by using chemical weapons –
and that wasn't enough to get the British
parliament and Prime Minister Cameron
or the American Congress and President
Obama to act.
• Then, ISIS beheaded two
journalists (not really a new practice in
the Middle East) in front of the
cameras – and within 48 hours the
world was united against them. Better
late than never, so we have little reason
to complain about the result. However,
there is something to learn about the
superficiality of the decision-making
processes in our world.
Second: let's assume for a moment that
ISIS is restrained in about a year (and
hopefully – crushed) – who wins?
• The main winner is Assad,
since the Coalition would have wiped
