[Q]: For five years, Gov. Nikki Haley, South Carolina's first minority governor, dismissed calls to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse lawn as a divisive issue far from her agenda. In her 2010 campaign, she said the two-thirds legislative approval required to move the flag from its 30-foot perch was too high a hurdle to allow for real debate. When her re-election opponent called last fall for it to be removed, she branded it a desperate stunt. None of that mattered, she said, after nine people were killed last month at a black church in Charleston, including its pastor, State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, in a crime she called 'pure hate.'South Carolina lawmakers plan to introduce a resolution Tuesday to debate removing the Confederate flag from the State House groundsGov.

[Q]: (CNN) The Syrian civil war is by no means over, but this year will bring a decisive turn in the conflict that may reduce the overall level of violence and fundamentally -- and perhaps for some time to come -- change the balance of power on the ground. Indeed, the Assad regime may not be able to reunite the country nor regain international legitimacy. But more than likely what was once unimaginable: Assad's outlasting of his domestic -- and international adversaries -- has now come to pass. And in one of the cruelest ironies of all, 2017 will also demonstrate the overturning of all the Obama administration's assumptions about Syria and perhaps open the door for the Trump administration to take advantage of the new realities.Aaron David Miller: Syria may yet prove to be a painful headache for President-elect TrumpEven so, it is unlikely to be as costly to his reputation and credibility as it will be to Obama's, he writes 
 Question:_ will remain a fractured state and like Humpty-Dumpty, it's not going to be put together anytime soon.
