An eight-minute introduction to the situation in Syria, with the analysis of a conflict that is beyond any possible political resolution and will only be settled when either the regime or the insurgents have a decisive military advantage --- given this will not happen in the foreseeable future, the "grind of the conflict" takes over.

One note about the close of the commentary: when we filmed this, I was working with Monday's figure toll of "only" 123 people slain by security forces. Yesterday, that number was 343.
