Maher Al Assad is being blamed for the use of chemical weapons on civilans in Syria last week. A UN official who monitors conflicts in the area, said the attack seems to have been a brazen decision by the younger brother of the countries dictator Bashar Al Assad. The attack killed more than 1,000 people. Since the start of this week we have seen U.S. equity markets take a dive, because we are all waiting to hear what President Obama will do. He has clear position on countries using chemical weapons on its own people. Its going to be interesting to see how the markets behave during the rest of this conflict but we are all in for a ride.
