This is about what I was thinking too, except that my point of comparison was to the Paris peace talks between the US (+ puppets) and the Vietnamese. Not only did they not obtain anything useful (even after agreeing on the shape of the negotiating table) but most of the US bombing and destruction of the country (and a couple of neighboring countries) occurred after formal "peace negotiations" had begun. Eventually the Vietnamese won anyway, but that probably would not have been possible without great material assistance from the Soviet Union, as well as widespread international solidarity. Both of which are mainly lacking for the Syrians :-( - Jeff At 10:09 07-02-16 -0500, Louis Proyect via Marxism wrote: > >full: >http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2016/01/syria-talks-remind-oslo-pr ocess-geneva-palestine-160131120716373.html > > _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
