It is essential that the Syrian peace process is successful and that all parties work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict. I am not confident, however, that the talks will be successful. Some of the adversaries are not included in the peace process.
Perhaps, the leaders of the peace process, the US and Russia, should consider negotiating with Isis and Al Nusra - no matter how distasteful this must seem. The leaders of the latter two groups would then be able to assess the opposition against them and that it is implacable. They might then be prepared to cease hostilities and stand down knowing that in the end they will not be able to achieve their objectives by violence. Any negotiation would have to be carried out by the UN in association with states that tacitly support them.
If the negotiations fail, the war against Isis and Al Nusra could then be resumed but with renewed vigour.
At last Russia and US seem to be on the same side: this war must be stopped but by diplomacy first but backed up by military action if diplomacy fails.
