Questions as Attack on Syria Looms
(Ha'aretz) Zvi Bar'el - The foot-dragging in the West stems from a lack of clear-cut proof about who fired the chemical weapons. The U.S. wants to find the smoking gun in President Assad's palace so its attack on Syria will not be restricted to aiming cruise missiles at some weapons stores, but, rather, will lead to a strategic change that will decide the battle in Syria. The question still remains of what happens "the day after." Who exactly will reap the fruits of the attack? Who will take the reins of government in Syria if the strike leads to Assad's downfall? No one knows the answer.
