This Can't Be Good

Syrian rebels have launched an attack- their first- in Damascus, hitting a largely empty Baath Party building sending 'a message to the regime.' Syria is continuing to spiral out of control by the day and while a month ago, I thought Assad seemed more stable that Qaddafi ever did, now I'm not so sure. The Syrians might just manage to oust their dictator without a single NATO jet taking to the skies. (If there's any international intervention, I'm betting heavily on Turkey. They've got regional power aspirations and they're getting annoyed with Damacus and Assad's inability to see anything remotely resembling reason- while the Free Syrian Army gets more members by the day.)

But this does send a powerful message- Assad is in trouble. God willing and the creek don't rise, the Ayatollah and all his Merry Men might not be that far behind.
