A Bouquet of Massacres!
Why settle for one massacre a day when you can get away with many? Why stop killing when the price will be paid by others, when your worst case scenario is a small fiefdom of your own, when there is no accountability worthy of the name? Assad and his cronies will keep killing, because even their worst case scenario at this stage is a win. They might lose Syria, only to win an Assadstan.
