"When King Abdullah II of Jordan visited Strasbourg about two month ago, the situation in Syria looked somehow ‘stabilised’, with the regime still in control. The Kofi Annan mission looked poised to bring relief to the embattled people of Syria and both Russia and China seemed inclined to contemplate the cost of sustaining the Assad regime to the end. Two months later, all that is gone. The bloodshed continues at even higher levels, the regime is holding fiercely onto power, Kofi Annan’s plan has become questionable and Russia, in particular, has toughened its stance to the point of preventing any potential external intervention to relieve the Syrians of this nightmare. After all, the international community was able to unite and act – see Bosnia and Kosovo – in situations that were not apparently as bad as that existing in Syria today. Still, with all those shortcomings, the Annan Plan seems to be all that we have got, because, in Lady Ashton’s words, ‘No other option has been able to gather any kind of international support’. Sad, but true, this is how international politics works. The question is, how will we look into the eyes of the ordinary Syrians when all this is over?"@en1
