Great-power myopia
The sheer humanitarian horror of Syria's civil war perversely disguises the degree to which that country's near-complete pulverization into a thousand brutalized pieces will have dramatic strategic consequences for decades to come.

Indeed, it is precisely because of the uncommon coincidence of great-power interests in Syria, Iran and North Korea that the vacuum of engagement is so perplexing -- and so dangerous. Russia has easily as much to lose from a jihadist-dominated Syria, and China has far more to loose from a Korean Peninsula set ablaze by Pyongyang. There is no such thing as benign neglect when it comes to security threats of the magnitude of North Korea, Iran and Syria.
