The Ghouta attack on August 21, 2013, was one of the most important events that shifted the course of the Syrian war, as western powers accused President Bashar al-Assad of carrying out the attack and President Obama backed off at the last moment from bombing Syria. However, with the passing of time, more details have surfaced. Therefore, Kevork Almassian hosted William Van Wagenen, an author focusing on Syria for the Libertarian Institute to discuss this important event.

Kevork Almassian is an award-winning political commentator from Syria. He is the founder of Syriana Analysis and is known for his contribution to the literature on the Syrian war.
