1. On the anniversary of the Syrian uprising a reminder that the UN sponsored Geneva Process requires free and fair elections that are likely to result in Assad's minority Baathist Party's electoral defeat. When that happens, Assad will cease to hold any lawful claim to power.
2. The flood of foreign jihadists sponsored by external forces has to be addressed. Sunni areas that have suffered under the minority dictatorship of the Assad regime will hopefully accept that there is no future for the jihadists in Syria. The world should commit to support
3. a democratic, free, secular, and equal Syria under a new constitution that recognizes that local self-rule is the key to stability in diverse nations. To achieve that goal, all Syrian voiced must be heard in the planning of their nation's future.
4. It should not be dictated from Moscow, Washington or Tehran and should protect the rights of all minorities including the pro-Assad Alawi who rightfully fear they will become the targets for revenge. You don't make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies.
