..."The army controls in daylight, (click here) the Free Syrian Army controls the night," as one activist explained....
Exactly. Russia and The West is finally getting on the same page about Syria. It looks hopeful. Prime Minister Cameron stated there has to be a realization there is no military victory in Syria. It will be best to bring all the parties to negotiations. This is mostly ethnic violence.

The US and the UK (click here) say they will work to strengthen the moderate opposition in Syria and create a transitional body to replace President Bashar al-Assad.
US President Barack Obama said such a body would be be the goal of a meeting in Geneva in "the coming weeks".
The US recently won Russian support for the conference.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, in Washington for talks, said there was an "urgent window of opportunity before the worst fears are realised" in Syria.
Since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule began more than two years ago, at least 70,000 people are believed to have been killed and more than 1.2 million are living outside Syria as refugees.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at the weekend that more than 80,000 people had died, a figure cited by Mr Cameron on Monday....
Russia wants a benevolence for the Syrian people and has stated through this entire episode in the Middle East there needs to be talks. It looks as though it will happen. With Russia seeking stability and The West supporting the opposition there should be good movement.
