Syrian govt, opposition agree to Geneva peace talks

This will be a disappointment to the British “anti-war” left who have seen fit to shun all contacts with Assad and anyone suspected of supporting him i.e. most of the Syrian population. However, Obama’s retreat from empire is gaining unstoppable momentum. After reaching a deal on Syria he will move onto the thorny question of an Israel-Palestine settlement. The left’s hopes in a new front against China are also likely to be disappointed as Obama is merely involved in a sort of rough-wooing: invest in America or we’ll bomb the hell out of you! The Chinese, however, are already only to eager to invest in America. Obama is also keen to trumpet the charge as he retreats on all fronts.
