Finally the UN has produced a unanimous resolution on the chemical weapons in Syria.
If you recall, firstly the West (America, Britain and France) wanted the right to bomb. Then Russian diplomacy took this off the table. Obama, Cameron and Hollande then insisted that the resolution permitted them to bomb if Assad didn't comply.
Now, it does not permit any attack at all (they would need to start again with anther resolution for that) and does not say which side used the weapons (because we don't know).
A victory, and a welcome one, For Messrs Putin and Lavrov.
