Deceive the Syrian people fake reforms Syria and abroad

A forced regime in Syria to talk about the near abolition of a state of emergency in force since 48 years and the adoption of other reforms, acknowledging the direct fall of the theory that foreign policy can provide internal stability, and reiterated by President Bashar al-Assad in his interview last with the newspaper «Wall Street Journal» in Early last month, when He said that his country is immune to what has happened and is happening in Tunisia and Egypt, because of the heterogeneity in beliefs between the government and the Syrian people,

in regard to support for Lebanese and Palestinian resistance and response to Israel and to beware of the United States.

Has formed a relationship overseas, positively or negatively, since the arrival of party

«Baath» to power nearly five decades, the image of governance in Syria and the method of providing for himself,

and associated with its regional legitimacy and justification of positions on issues within the political, economic and social development, to the degree that this home is no longer exists only through engagement with the outside world. But this was the «natural» to draw the Syrian officials the charges to external parties of being behind the moves of demands popular demonstrations that swept cities several, and that the tie between them and the targeting of Syria's role regional Biharthm to the involvement of foreign bodies in the confrontations which took place in the shield, Latakia and Damascus, and some areas of the densely Kurdish .

Although the theory has succeeded long to hide the internal contradictions and used as a pretext to reject the reforms and the withholding of freedoms for the Syrians, but it was supposed to the Syrian leadership to pay attention also to the relationship abroad conduct two-way street, and that must change in the data either be reflected on the other, and that the success Revolution in Egypt and Tunisia, and others certainly will open the eyes of the Syrians on their situation and encourage them to catch up Barakbha.

But even if we discussed the outer leaves, which it believes Damascus is its stability, we find that they have been eroded with time and become, on the contrary, the burden of unfettered. Take for example the relationship with the «Hezbollah» movement «Hamas» under the «axis of resistance», during the reign of the late President Hafez al-Assad, the relationship with Iran and «Hezbollah» subject to the delicate balance that takes into account Syria's interests and sensitivities of Arab, but today, it has Iran is becoming the strongest party in this relationship, the transformation of the Lebanese party - in practice - a partner of Syria, which has receded to its influence. And the possibility that the party ready to try to aid its Syrian partner is subject to complex calculations resolved in Tehran, silent and alone, not the least of keeping «line irreversibility» in the event of changed Syria and changed the balance of power in Lebanon, especially in light of mobilization of sectarianism, which reached an unprecedented level.

As for the «Hamas», Egyptian fancy at all, Damascus were not only an alternative by abstaining from Cairo, Egypt, but the change in the re-shuffle the deck. It is clear today that Gaza has become more willing to talk about reconciliation with the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, and more willing to get international recognition, certainly not the Damascus gate.

And with the relationship with Turkey, which played a major role in the output of Damascus of its isolation, in a silent crisis, because of what it considers to Ankara errors Syrian policy in Lebanon, and evidence forced two Iranian planes were heading to Damascus to land in Turkish territory to searched, in search of weapons allegedly found in one, and the successive statements of the officials, the Turks, which urges Assad to meet the demands of his people.

As for the matter difficult relationship with the West in general, and the United States in particular, I understand Damascus error signals coming from Washington about the desire to re-engage with them, so that the Obama administration, which realized losses and paper Iraq for the benefit of Iran because of miscalculation and the performance of the Bush administration wanted to open up on Syria to encourage them to form a barrier to direct communication between Iraq and Lebanon and the Palestinians, which set the arming «Hezbollah», and not breach the balance on the front of southern Lebanon through the supply of long-range missiles, in the U.S. indictment.

Even if Assad succeeded in containing the current wave of protests in different ways, it is certain that the situation in his country can not return to its previous status, and will be forced to meet the requirements of the inside Syrian exhausted after the «outside» of his role.
