A Scheduled Hanging Focuses the Mind, I Hear

A little unity any time now, guys. Any time:

Syria's fragmented opposition doubled down on attempts to unify their ranks on Thursday, the second day of a Saudi-sponsored meeting ahead of next week's UN-brokered peace talks.

Around 140 opposition figures are gathered in Riyadh in a bid to form a unified delegation to meet representatives of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Geneva on November 28.

I'm sure Assad will wait patiently while the rebels get their act in order. No pressure at all.

The toll is put at over 330,000 in 6 years of fighting. And Assad still rules. Will the death and destruction be for nothing?
