Syria 'Ready" for Talks with Rebels

Syria's almost two year civil war may finally begin to reach the end of the tunnel. Syria's foreign minister stated that the government was ready to hold talks with all parties, armed rebels included, who would like to discuss an end to the conflict. "We are ready for dialogue with all who want dialogue, including those who are carrying arms," said Walid al-Muallem. "We still believe in a peaceful solution to the Syrian problem." There are some that are skeptical to the advances. John Kerry, the new United States Secretary of State, questioned how the country could extend an invitation for the talks while there are still innocent civilians being killed. With the added recent flip flopping of the rebels, it will be quite the achievement to have hold peaceful talks.
