Rating the GOP candidates in Iowa

RATING THE GOP CANDIDATES IN IOWA. Six Republican presidential candidates — Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis — appeared Friday at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa. The event was sponsored by the Family Leader, the most influential social conservative organization in the state. The candidates were questioned by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. While the event did not make big news like it did back in 2016, when then-candidate Donald Trump notoriously said of the late Sen. John McCain, "I like people who weren't captured," the forum still offered revealing portraits of some of the candidates vying to unseat the now-former President Trump as the leader of the Republican Party.

Assad wins at the United Nations Security Council — again

The United Nations Security Council has generally been a feckless institution on the Syria file. The council’s ineptitude was exposed at the very start of the 12-year civil war. A body that was crafted out of the ashes of World War II to maintain international peace and security instead looked like a meaningless debating society, with Russia (often supported by China) on one side and the United States, Britain, and France on the other. Whenever the U.S. or its partners tried to present a resolution penalizing Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, the Russians blocked it.
