Letter Published in The National UAE on 12April 18

I write in reference to your article Trump builds coalition to target Syria’s deadly arsenal (April 11): the ongoing crisis in Syria and in particular the recent abysmal chemical weapons attack in Douma appears to have had a profound impact on world leaders, especially the mercurial US President Donald Trump.
His Syrian counterpart Bashar Al Assad is indignant and refuses to accept his responsibility for all the recent atrocities that have been carried out on the Syrian people. Mr Trump is waiting for the participation of other allies to strike the Syrian regime and thereby save innocent civilians.
But will he manage to form a coalition strong enough to hinder the Syrian regime? And will strikes succeed in stopping Mr Al Assad from committing further atrocities on his own people? Unfortunately until there is a decisive outcome, the biggest sufferers are Syria’s innocent civilians.
