Yes, and I think now the five will be unanimous to divide the country.Originally Posted by Hombre de Maiz
I'll leave it to France, Britain and the Russians to sort it out. After all, it's in the neighborhood, and we've heard plenty of complaints from them about Yankee intervention, and how their approach and diplomacy is superior to Uncle Sam's meddlesome arrogance. I have no doubt those three, based on an European consensus underwritten by their great culture and civilization. will find an amicable solution and win a peace.

Now that the opposition has come together, military support will be more, and more effectively channeled and employed. Bashar al-Assad and his henchmen, at least those with enough money, will sooner or later bail. The only sure division I see on the horizon is the separation of the regime supporters from their lives and property. The Russians are once again backing a looser.
.... the one who lost now is Syrian people. Such a cost for democration.
What makes you think the next regime will be particularly "democratic"? This is the tragedy of many Muslim majority countries. They are trapped between the rock of secular autocratic regimes that stand as bulwark against Islamism and the hard place of Islamist regimes that can scarcely rule beyond their narrow sectarian confines. If Islam was meant to unite and prevent the Arabs (and Muslims) from fighting among themselves, indications of its success are very thin on the ground in the 21st century. There is little to suggest that the democratic spirit and the habits of the mind, collective and personal, required for democracy to prosper spring naturally from having lived under religious or political despotism.

That seems to be what is play out elsewhere among the Arab Spring countries. Its early though.
