Syria's SNC Accuses U.S. of Undermining Revolution
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian main exiled opposition group on Friday accused Washington of undermining the country's revolution by seeking to overhaul how regime opponents are organized.
Two days ahead of key opposition talks due in Qatar, the Syrian National Council lashed out at U.S. criticism of the group for not being fully representative of Syria's diverse dissident groups.
"Any discussions aimed at passing over the Syrian National Council or at creating new bodies to replace it are an attempt to undermine the Syrian revolution by sowing the seeds of division," the SNC said in a statement.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced frustration with the SNC this week, calling for a new more expansive opposition that would include more activists from inside Syria.

The US has no interest in seeing a new regime in Syria. They were happy with Bashar till you came with your revolution. It was happy with the Shah of Iran, until the revolution took over.
Even with the screw ups in the US policies, it still a win situation, most likely these new regimes will have plenty of problems, to keep them weak and occupied, so Israel can rest and live in peace.

US policy makers in the middle east have proven that they are extremely effective. They follow the tide to their advantage. US know eventually that Sunnis will take over in Syria as much as the Chia in Iraq. Eventually there will be two blocks, the Chia Iraq/Iran and the Sunnis - the rest of the ME. Hizbullah will be isolated so much for Israel and for Lebanon. The Arab world will be polarized between Sunnis and Chias leaving Israel alone.
We cannot really blame the US but actually the Arabs as they are incapable of bridging their differences and put in place democratic regimes.

The leadership of SNC is so naive, beleiving that when you start a revolution <Arab Spring> everyone is going to follow you.
When SNC leadership is made up by a bunch of incompetent informants for various inteligent agencies, you don.t get more than this

SNC has an impossible task. Intellectuals trying to build on a democratic/intellectual political solution while there are no foundations whatsoever of political life in Syria after over 40 years of tyrannical regime.
Look what happened in Iraq, the US and UK had to put all their weight to build a political system and its still a long long way to get there.
Syria need the same treatment.
The efforts done the past 12 years in Afghanistan, Iraq and lately Libya have exhausted western countries who are not ready to embark in a new adventure. Moreover the Russians are opposed strongly to a western intervention as they are afraid they put their hand on the gas in the eastern mediterrenean thus jeopardizing their gas monopole in Europe.

The arabs could do intervene however they do not have a strong culture of democracy rather an Islamic undemocratic culture.
Syria could therefore be left for YEARS facing a civil wars that will weaken it severely. Whoever the winner, and most naturally and probably the Sunnis, they will be weak enough not to create problems in the neighboring countries especially Lebanon and Israel.
