Presenting a TNR Symposium: What should the United States do about Syria?
“It has been nearly a year since Syrians took to the streets en masse to protest the rule of Bashar al-Assad. In that time, government forces have responded brutally killing some 6,000 people, but the response by the international community has been relatively muted.”
Today, Dan Drezner argues for arming the opposition, Soner Cagaptay argues for organizing a military force from Muslim countries, and Larry Diamond suggests we should engage diplomatically with Assad to oust him.
Visit TNR.com in coming days for contributions from Anne-Marie Slaughter, James Traub, Walter Laqueur, and others.
