So, Bashar Assad seems to be campaigning to join the "axis of evil." He needs to be confronted with a starker choice, bigger sticks, if he persists in this path, but bigger carrots if he makes significant progress in some of the areas of our concern.
According to my information, President Assad wanted to overhaul the whole foreign policy apparatus, but this had not been done at the end of the day, and he appointed, again, an old guardist, in order not to seem, or to give to the appearance, that he is bowing to American pressure.
Assad and others without their up-front acknowledgement that they're the elements that are willing to negotiate, which is a de facto disagreement with the very people that are blowing folks up.

 Policy: Hafez Al-Assad—Too Clever By Half
Assad says he can't control these fanatics, who also have carried out most of the kidnappings of individual Americans in Beirut.
In short, Assad's cleverness on behalf of the Arab cause has done a great deal to justify Israeli extremism in American and European minds, further the radicalization of the Middle East, and paralyze the US will to control its increasingly out-of-control Israeli client state.

In response, Assad pledged to withdraw Syrian troops completely to the eastern Lebanese-Syrian border region, and to hold Syrian-Lebanese Higher Committee meetings to agree further moves, including, presumably, a complete withdrawal into Syria.
One impact of the Assad speech is already clear: some of the divergences among the opposition groups and foreign countries pressuring Syria will now become more obvious, and might temporarily ease some of the pressure that has built up on Syria in recent weeks and months.
Assad’s speech should be seen as the first salvo in the counter-campaign against the movement to quickly force Syria out of Lebanon.

 Assad Legacy: A Ruler, Not a Leader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Anyone prepared to accept less than Assad demanded will risk being branded as a sellout; yet anyone who demands more than Assad will be unable to reach an agreement with any conceivable Israeli government.
Assad's decision not to define the grounds for a Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon—for example, the withdrawal of Israeli troops coupled with the demilitarization of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia—will similarly make it more difficult for his successor to find a formula for leaving.
And Assad's unwillingness to permit any meaningful opening up at home means that his son and hand-picked successor, Bashar, begins with a unanimous vote from the parliament but no real legitimacy.

Assad remarked that many of the guerrillas and terrorists entering Iraq came from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, but Mubarak pointed out that at least half still come in from Syria.
The Egyptian leader then criticized Assad for the free rein he grants Hizballah, allowing the Lebanese extremists to publish their newspapers in Syria and their clerics to teach in Syrian religious schools.
While Mubarak and Assad talked tete a tete, Osama al Baz conducted a stiff exchange with hard-line Syrian foreign minister Farouk a-Shara, reprimanding him for failing in his duty to fully brief and advise the Syrian president for fear of losing his job to the rising star Buthaina Shaaban.

NEW YORK –– Jewish organizations in the United States sharply denounced Syria's President Bashar Assad on Monday for his statement to Pope John Paul II that cast blame on Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Assad said the Jews "tried to kill the principles of all religions with the same mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they tried to betray and kill the Prophet Muhammad."
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher accused Assad of stirring up religious hate and said his comments "are as regrettable as they are unacceptable." The day before, Israeli government leaders said Assad's words were "racist" and "anti-Semitic."

 A War Without Winners
The dictator there, Bashar Assad, is under great pressure to produce the killer or killers of Rafiq Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister.
Since he is not likely to arrest his brother or his brother-in-law (not to mention himself), it's hard to see what the outcome to this mess may be: perhaps sanctions imposed by the United Nations.
However nice it would be for Assad to be among the unemployed, Washington's primary concern is not strictly law and order but the willingness of Assad to allow terrorists to cross into Iraq from his country -- another repercussion of the war and Syria's fear that it might be next.

 How the West Was Won   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The fall of Saddam robbed Assad of his one reliable ally and the quick exit from Lebanon following Hariri’s murder was in the face of unexpected protests from the Lebanese public.
This notwithstanding as diplomacy on the nuclear issues of North Korea and especially that of Iran get particularly intense it may be tempting to encourage regime change in Syria to give America and her allies a scalp of a foe.

 On the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri: Is Syria's Assad the 5th Man? :: International ...
If in fact the the real truth becomes known, the world is likely to have confirmation that Syria's Assad is indeed the 5th man, and that he is responsible for Hariri's death.
Mr Assad, who refused to meet the UN team, reportedly told Mr Hariri that Mr Lahoud should be viewed as his personal representative in Lebanon and “opposing him is tantamount to opposing Assad himself”.
In Michael Young's piece, he offers that "in the coming weeks, we will know whether the Mehlis inquiry produces the "earthquake" that many have predicted it will." For the moment, the Lebanese are holding their breath fearing the Syrian backlash, but also hoping that Hizbullah is innocent, so that Sunni-Shiite tension can be averted.

 Refugees, The Palestinian Refugees - The Peace Encyclopedia
The decision to sacrifice them [the Palestinian Arab refugees] to the cause of Israel's destruction was clearly enunciated in the aftermath of 1948-49 (keep them in camps so they can learn hate and seek revenge), and no action by Arab elites has shown evidence of a change of heart.
The Palestinians are the only refugees who cannot and must not be absorbed elsewhere; their fate is to be played up as the mirror image of the Wandering Jew.
Among many who have made this observation is Col. Richard Henry Meinertzhagen, a British Middle East expert.
