Despite the fact that, like everyone else, the Saudis do not trust Jumblat for one second or believe a single word he says, they will still mail him the check in compensation for this public statement.
In the first session, Assad should declare a limit on the term of the president, 6 years or 7 years or 12 years or whatever, but he should instate a limit on the length of the presidency, and everything else can come afterwards, otherwise these talks will lead to nowhere.
It looks to me that the "Arab Spring" is going to remove Western influence from the Middle-East for good and replace it by regimes allied with and/or sympathetic to Iran. After Tunisia and Libya, the military rulers are going to collapse despite all efforts by the US to the contrary.
The bottom line of this story is that the next war will not be exclusively on Lebanese soil. This is what Nasrallah has promised and this is what will happen. Israel will have to worry about protecting it's own villages and citizens before worrying about what targets to bomb inside Lebanon. This is how the "equation" will be changing.
