Assad the younger needs more to be a player in the new world, than being a rejectionist in the arab world. If he is to have a future in the region,

He seems to be the front man for four or five major Clans that run Syria. His power is in the Clan he heads. And the alliances he has, which are constantly shifting. I see him as having much less power than his counterparts. Getting that group of people to do something will take some doing.
