Western meddling in Syria are doomed http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/western-meddling-in-syria-are-doomed/

The western self-denying leaders are using their usual ‘human-right violation’ mantra against Syria while they keep duct-tape on their mouths when it comes to mass human right violation being carried out by the US and Israel on the daily basis.Aside from the rhetoric, threats and warnings coming from Sarkozy and Hillary Clinton – Professor Mark Almond (Bilkent University, Turkey), an international relations expert says that American and European has little liverage to influence Damascus.

Furthermore, he believes that a democratic Syria would be very unfriendly toward Israel and the US.“The western illusion that democracy would be good for peace in Syria, good for peace in the region. I fear that the democratic Syria would make a much more difficult regional neighbor for Israel, for instance, and much more difficult for the West to refuse its demands, so it could be destabilizing, or there could be chaos, which could be even worse.”
