A useful regime

The US stands to gain from Assad's being weakened politically in his own country without military intervention, writes the left-liberal daily To Ethnos: "The air strikes of the US, France, the UK and Nato against Libya have shown that military intervention is not even enough to topple a regime as weak as Gaddafi's. ... Assad's regime, on the other hand, is very useful to the US. And a war waged by the US and Nato against Syria would very likely lead to a military explosion in many Arab countries. ... On the other hand an Assad weakened by the bloody demonstrations will be much easier for the US to deal with."
