Do you support a regime change in Syria?

[Salome]

We could have seen how Bashar is eager to build good relations with the big powers of the west, recently he seeked to promote some positive image of Syria during his European visit.

Now that the pressure is loosened a bit by USA, and neocon aspirations like this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...a-regimes.html remain in the background, would there be any soon a regime change in Syria?

If so, what kind of new regime or power elite could emerge?

Is Assad only "exploiting the fundamentalist threat to divert pressure for democratic change"?

And in the end how would a regime change in Syria affect the regional power structure and particularly Lebanon?

Yes I'm all for toppling the Alawite regime in Syria, however not by foreign forces. I don't want to see another Iraq or Afghanistan. Should a change happen, it should come from the people of Syria only.

I don't know who would pick up the leadership in case such a scenario happens, the Muslim Brotherhood is a highly probable candidate. However, should we witness such event, the power balance in the area will be tipped in favor of the Arabs.

I am against regime change in Syria simply because the alternative would be hell.

I support whatever the Syrian people want and as long as they don't interfere in our affairs. I don't want to interfere in theirs either.
Toppling a regime is purely a Syrian choice.

Do you see any chance for a democratic change? How can the opposition (is it organized anyway?) take over by not using any force, if there aren't even democratic elections?

Well am not sure what they have now is what the people want.

Whatever happens in Syria it will have an affect on the region and on Lebanon of course as well.

No its highly improbable for this regime to be toppled in the coming years. Mind you that preserving this regime is in favor of Israel and US, they don't want a religious sunnite movement to take over in Syria for if such thing is to happen, the Golan front will be opened.

The most fundamentalist religious so called Sunni regime already took over in KSA and KSA is the most subservient regime to US and the least dangerous to ISrael. If the khwan take over Syria it will be the most subservient regime after KSA. People do not know that the ikhwan are nothing but power seekers. They will do anything to get to power. Anything. Hamas is with Syrians while in lebanon they are with Hariri and US in Iraq not only they are with US but they became part of the ruling clan under US. In Afghanistan they fought agaist US. While in egypt they are against the regime in Sudan they are with the regime. etc.. etc.. etc...

He didn't think about that, his issue with the Syrians is just a personal vendetta.

If that's the case then who is worthy of seizing leadership positions in the Arab world?

اغلب الشعب ما بيمشي الا بالسحق وللاسف الشديد. شوف العراق. ذبحوا بعض لما صدام راح. كذلك لبنان لما راحوا السوريين. قال ديمقراطية قال.
