SYRIAWATCH-SPINALERT- Uruk.net - Friends or Foes, Syria's Neighbours Wary of Assad's Ouster http://uruknet.com/?p=m77175&hd=&size=1&l=e

More likely, Bashar will continue what biographer David Lesch, a Syria scholar at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, called a "bipolar policy" of alternating minimal concessions with outbursts of lethal force. Opposition groups will continue to challenge the government and the ties that have bound Syrians to the Assad family for four decades will fray and eventually disappear.

Augustus R. Norton, a Middle East expert at Boston University, predicts "a gradual cooling" of Syria's three-decade-old alliance with Shiite Iran, rather than a sudden break.Many Israeli officials prefer the secular devil they know to a successor regime that might have a more ideological and Islamic character. While Syria has supported Hamas and Hezbollah, the Israeli- Syrian border has remained quiet, enabling Israelis to enjoy their homes and wineries in the Golan.

Farideh Farhi, an Iran expert at the University of Hawaii, told a conference at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. on Monday that Iran is "trying to play a subtle game" in Syria and banking on the fact that the Syrian government and the Syrian people "have the same position on Israel".
