++Iran Foreign Minister Zarif is en route to Syria to present the Iranian peace plan which calls for Hezbollah withdrawing from Syria and all Shi'ite forces. This in part is because of tensions with Turkey who are attacking Syria for this very reason. Zarif says that Assad would be left with token powers and that people willing to make reforms will be added to the government.
++Russia and Saudi Arabia held a summit to discuss fighting ISIS and the disagreement was about Assad leaving power. Russia nixed the idea.
++Meanwhile, I have received e-mails from Iraq, which indicate there are massive ,peaceful demonstrations against the government and its corruption by both Sunnis and Shiites. Also reports from the field indicate there are internal Kurdish skirmishes in Iraq.
++Something is up and we all are missing rapidly changing events. Sort of makes Jeb!'s insistence of more American troops in Iraq look goofy.
++If Zarif is real about the Shi'ites leaving,that is big news and refutes the argument about the Shi'ite Crescent and Iranian expansionism at bilateral relations within the region. Zarif claims he will bringing his proposal to the United Nations.
