After 2 years Assad is firm.

Once it appeared that Assad was going down. But after 2 years during which time the character and make up of his opposition became clear, it appears he is going nowhere.

Sometimes I wonder if John McCain has sense.

Great section of the Syrian population has more fear of the opposition than Assad.

My advise to the US. Leave Syria alone. Syria will find its equilibrium.
