U.S. and NATO seem now in a race against time in pursuing exactly that goal through those two options to preclude the implementation of the Syrian package of reforms, until the ruling regime is coerced into compliance to trade their support of these reforms for the current Syrian foreign policy agenda.

Recent talks between the Syrian dictatorship and the US (and Europe) have been hailed as "constructive". President Obama is testing a 180-degree reversal of the Bush policy of "they know what we want, so there's nothing to talk about". But 40 years of history show that all previous engagements and talks with the Syrian dictatorship have been destructive to Lebanon, to the Middle East and to the peace process. Other than Obama and Clinton's personal charm, there is no substantive change to the status quo. Let no one be fooled by the vulgar tyranny that reigns in Damascus.
