No, Idlib shouldn't return to regime control.

Mr. Assad and all of his henchmen should be arrested and tried as war criminals.

Russian delegates should stop twisting things around; their distortions of reality are obvious enough to make a cynic out of anyone, particularly since the Russian government has encountered no genuine opposition from countries which could have stopped its interference in Syria.

It is unfortunate that the media was so intent on building up the idea that President Trump needed Russian subterfuge to win the election that it demanded the effective end of negotiation and even, apparently, direct communication between President Trump and President Putin.  I realize that President Putin supports dictators and is unconcerned about things such as mass detainment, torture and murder if his failure to object to them serves his goals.  However, the diffidence of other countries in decisively turning the Syrian war in favor of democracy has led to the present situation, in which negotiating with the Russian government about the fate of Syria is unavoidable.

Professional foreign policy writers should feel free to correct whatever I have wrong about this analysis.  I don't know what there is to misinterpret about the pictures of people tortured and murdered, the accounts told by survivors, the starvation and despair of millions of refugees, the destruction of villages, towns and cities, all because one man who was born to inherit a dictatorship didn't want to relinquish this most archaic form of government and his illegimate place at its core.
