Assad the father would take out the terrorists basing in damascus in a heartbeat if it meant getting back golan. But the sons survival is at stake. Do you know which players would be successors assuming baathists maintain control? It may actually take regime change there for syria to take the carrot.
Also i see iraq further devolving into a three state solution. I am hoping kurds and sunnis could stay together and build something viable based on shared oil. But if not we get sunnistine in the center with syria on the border. In such a scenario baathist syria may one day inherit sunnistan although i dont know what good it does them.
