Russia, US Open Deconfliction Talks
A day after Russian jets began strikes in Syria, the US and Russian militaries opened discussions about deconflicting air operations but it is unclear when, or if, a solution will be sorted out.

What U.S. Retreat Looks Like
Syria reveals the chaos of a world without American leadership.
A friend of ours quipped amid the Iraq debate of 2003 that the only thing Europeans dislike more than U.S. leadership is a world without it.
Well, we are now living in such a world, and the result is the disorder and rising tide of war in the Middle East that even the Obama Administration can no longer dismiss.
