support is also building up for creating havens for Syrian refugees in
Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.
Moscow had also expressed concern that, with Assad’s demise, a new
Syrian government might “ignore Russia’s interests in the Middle
East.” Since the vetoes, however, the Syrian National Council has
established contact with Russia and China to offer assurances that a
democratic Syria would pursue “cooperation with all nations.”
SNC sources tell me that they’ve also “opened a dialogue” with Iran,
Assad’s main supporter, amid signs that it, too, may no longer be so
sure about the despot’s chances of survival.
America must take the lead in mobilizing international support for the
Syrian revolution. By removing one of the last regimes that still
sponsors terrorism, the victory of democracy in Syria is in America’s
best national interests.
