The Syrian conflict, which marks its grisly 10th anniversary this week, has been defined by multiple events and actors.
Graffiti on the walls of Daraa. Chemical weapons in Aleppo and Damascus. Aylan Kurdi s body on a Turkish beach. ISIS driven from Raqqa. Turkish presence in the northeast and northwest.
The number and complexity of these events has drained understanding and commitment. The narrative arc of the war is singular not plural. It is defined by an axis stretching from accountability to impunity.
