Shooting in Deraa as Syria pledges to reassure the people


euronews has received pictures which appear to show more bloodshed, with bodies lying on the ground amid chaotic scenes. The sound of shooting can clearly be heard.

Dozens of people have been killed in the town in 10 days of anti-government protests.

The Baath party has been in power in Syria for nearly 50 years but now faces a rebellion similar to others in the Arab world.

The country’s northern neighbour Turkey has joined the criticism, condemning the violence and urging the government to deliver on promises of reform.

Turkey nervously monitors instability in Syria

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) — Turkey is watching closely the political instability in Syria, which has been rocked by pro-democracy demonstrations against the authoritarian regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

What happens in Syria is important for Turkey since under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan the nation has turned eastward, making ties to Damascus, Moscow and Tehran central to its diplomatic and economic strategy, analysts say.

“The fear for Ankara is that Syria heads the same way as Libya, i.e. descent into outright civil war,” said Timothy Ash, emerging-markets strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland.

The prospect “of coalition-NATO air strikes on would be a challenge/risk along border” and would create “difficult choices for Turkey itself as a NATO member...

5. As soon as you can figure out how to move Israel about 1500 miles from Syria

Oh yeah, and you'll need to cut off every Hezbollah fighter in Lebanon from communication with Syria and the outside world. Come up with a way to impose complete blackout on Lebanon, and you should be good to go.



Or maybe you want to think this over some more.
