Simplified greatly, the object is to get a ceasefire and some sort of collaboration between the Assad regime and the so-called moderate rebels by as early as January no less.

Then, using this transitional truce and lots of UN help, seek a new Syrian constitution to arrive at national elections and a new government within 18 months.

............

Lest this all seem like a pipedream, remember that these Vienna talks have succeeded in getting 17 parties of some considerable clout to the table.

Among others, the list includes the five permanent members of the UN Security Council as well as all the important regional powerhouses such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and the Gulf States.

Maybe most notable is that Iran and Saudi Arabia, two of the most diehard foes you can find, and who both helped fuel the war, appeared in the same conference room for the first time, to the astonishment of the world's media.

1. If you follow the issues the jihadist are on the run on all fronts.

These attempts at a negotiated settlement with terrorists is a non starter especially with the bombing of the russian jet. ISIS and all terrorist groups are being decimated.

These negotiations are a hail mary pass by the west to try and get a cease fire and no fly zone so the terrorists can continue to attack assad.

It seems they are very close to freeing allepo from the terrorists, all in all the war is going in our favor if your one to hate jihadists and other terrorist mercenaries. There are no good guys on the ground only the lesser of evil. Personally I am rooting for the secular team. From the beginning our fight against ISIS has been a charade, it took them a year for the western coalition to target the main source of income outside of the gulf states for ISIS.

Check out the syria channel on liveleak if you want to get a sense of whats going on in the ground. There is a marked change in tone for the jihadists and plenty of awesome videos of them getting attacked.
