A diplomatic solution is only as good as its implementation as the antagonists in Syria are finding out as they attempt to transport and destroy an entire chemical weapons arsenal in the middle of a civil war. A much awaited UN report concludes chemical weapons were used repeatedly in the conflict, probably by both sides although the report did not assess responsibility. It will take Russian trucks and American technology plus a lot of good faith on both sides. We are very good at building for war, but peace not so much.
