تفاؤل خليجي بموافقة سوريا على إرسال مراقيين

The only way they will accept observers is because of pressure from Russia. This means Russia fully or partially sold Syria. Bye Bye Syria, with observers Damascus will erupt in protests

Gabby, don't be so optimistic, things aren't as simple as you think. The stupid regime, who can not comprehend the dramatic changes in the world around it, is just using this step as an additional attempt to buy more time in hoping to crush the protests. They will let the "observers" sink in the details and make life very difficult for them when they are trying to "observe". Of course the observers at some point will be fed up and will report their frustrations to their superiors. All this assuming impartial observers, which by the way i think they are given the amount of hatred and opposition the regime has for them (they probably know every name). In summary, this will delay UN action for another month give or take. Either way, this is another victory for the opposition but more innocent blood will be spilled. The regime can only delay the inevitable end, its demise. I think there will be lots of revenges after the fall of Assad. Cvil war in mixed areas cant be averted.

Now is the time to leave Syria before you become labeled with or against the terrorist regime. Civil war is imminent because the regime for 50 yrs has suppressed freedom and eliminated any voice against it the "Tueni,Gemayel,Hawi,Chidiac,Murr and etc.." way.

Realist, you are probably correct. Anything they can do to delay and confound observers being in the country will most definitely occur.

On a good note Russia was just miraculously admitted to the WTO. This could be part of the pay off for selling Syria which has become a very hot political potato for Russia. The Russian proposal on Syria will meet the Arab League proposal in the UN on Wednesday. Hopefully something good will come of it.

No question all the delays will cost many more innocent lives in Syria.
