All eyes are on Turkey as signs of a military operation by a US-led “coalition of the willing” against the Syrian regime increase following the alleged use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians by forces loyal to the regime.

While UN inspectors try to verify the truth of the matter, Washington and Ankara, among others, have little doubt that Assad is guilty.
