Would you say what is happening right now in Syria constitutes civil war?
What do you think will be the biggest deciding factor in whether Assad stays or goes? What kind of percentage chance would you give the survival of his regime?
Can you say at this point whether the country would be better off one way or another? Obviously Assad has been brutal and murderous, but it's not difficult to foresee a potentially worse situation.
And lastly, how do you think the resisters in Syria find the courage to continue? It's been such a long and brutal conflict, it must take a tremendous amount of resilience and fortitude.
Sorry for all the questions, I don't know when I'll get another chance to ask! Thanks!
