Bush is slowly squeezing the trigger on Syria. It is inevitable they will collapse internally. But, like most dictatorships there isn't a strong leader to replace Assad.

Assad is merely a figurehead for Mustafa Tlass who is the real power in the country.

The US will not declare war against Syria and IMO we will not occupy Syria to do as you suggest.

I loved him in "The Lion King"!

Seriously though, can't we kill him along with Assad? As long as we're there, we might as well consolidate.
