Syrian government, Russia criticize Britain's calls against Assad
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-11/22/c_122315039.htm

DAMASCUS, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Monday called on Syrian opposition to "unite" against President Bashar al-Assad, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov chided such calls from Western countries as provocation.
"It is important for opposition groups to be able to put aside their own differences and come to a united view of the way forward, " Hague made the remarks after meeting with Syrian opposition representatives in London on Monday.
However, he said Britain was not ready to recognize the Syrian opposition as the country's legitimate government.
"We are not at the point of a formal recognition, partly because there is not a single council as there was in Libya. They are not in control of territory in Syria as the council was in Libya and the international community has not reached that point," Hague said.
Meanwhile, Lavrov said that "so far, when the Arab League (AL) urges to stop the violence and start dialogues, Western countries and some countries in the region call for the opposition to avoid such dialogues with Bashar al-Assad's regime."
Abuses over international law and the UN authority cannot be allowed, Lavrov added.
The remarks of Hague and Lavrov came after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's confirmation that he would press on with a crackdown against what he called armed groups targeting civilians, policemen, army personnel in his country despite increased pressure from the AL.
"The conflict will continue and the pressure to subjugate Syria will continue," Assad told the Britain's Sunday Times newspaper. " However, I assure you that Syria will not bow down and that it will continue to resist the pressure being imposed on it," he said.
Commenting on Assad's remarks, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Monday that the Syrian regime was destined to fall sooner or later.
"No matter how hard you try to hold on to power with your tanks and your weapons, a day will come and you will go," said Erdogan at a meeting with chief Muslim clerics from African countries and communities held in Istanbul.
The AL peace plan reached with Syria earlier this month has virtually perished, with each side blaming the other of showing no sincerity. The Syrian authorities said that the plan contains " impossible" phrases that encroach upon Syria's sovereignty while the AL said that Syria has demanded amendments that contradict the plan's essence.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said that some Arab states are using the AL as a tool to take the Syrian file to the UN Security Council, but stressed that "there would be no civil war no matter how they tried to ignite it ... thanks to the awareness of the Syria people."
In yet another move to place pressure on Damascus, the AL has said that it will sponsor a meeting combining different opposition figures to help them form a united front.
Now, there are mounting calls among Syrians, even anti-regime activists, to halt all kinds of violent acts whether they are against government's targets or not as armed resistance has practically become true.
The so-called Syrian Free Army (SFA), an opposition armed force composed of army defectors, has recently attacked the headquarters of air intelligence forces in Damascus' suburb of Harasta, which was denied by the government.
The SFA claimed responsibility for the Harasta attack, and its founder, Riyad al-Assaad, a Turkey-based defected army colonel, said during an interview with al-Jazeera TV that the SFA is an armed opposition force that has its own weapons and funds.
Opposition groups claimed that the ruling al-Baath party's building in the very heart of Damascus was hit at dawn on Sunday by two rocket-propelled grenades. But Moallem said that such news is absolutely baseless and Syria's state-run TV aired footage of the building which looks intact.
However, residents at the area confirmed that they awoke at a loud explosion, a matter the minister had stopped short of explaining.

Bernard-Henri Lévy
The Point - Posted on 17/11/2011 at 09:59
This is an exile me that this recent Schalscha Bernard, a former Trotskyist who, in Rules of the Game, together for eight months, Syria and outputs information indicating the savagery of the repression in Homs, Hama and Qousseir. The man tells the tortured. The machine-gunned. Burials enjoyed by militias to be certain to make boxes. And the clouds of smoke by a veil of black crepe over the heads even then refuse to bend. For him, the case is heard. Power that drives well, one can also systematically assassin, a power that puts you head into the blood, your blood when you dare to raise it, is power in agony, finally, beleaguered, doomed - question day, matter of weeks, but condemned.
This is a senior officer of the Syrian army. He's older. Much more. And it is in the West, he, for several years. With its breadth of old athlete, his short hair, his brow slightly bumpy (the old record of torture?), It looks like Gregorious, the boxer of "Forbans of the night" by Jules Dassin. He knows the system thoroughly. It is in contact with other officers, younger, who are the backbone of the army and, at this very moment, deserting. It has valuable information, and cool on the state of demoralization, indecision new, the beginning of panic too, where his peers are loyal to the regime but suddenly no longer believe. For him either, the outcome is not in doubt. For him, too, the days of dictatorship are numbered.
It Rifaat al-Assad, Bashar's own uncle - the brother of his father, Hafez al-Assad, who was the founder of the dictatorship, its architect. I had already met once in London six months ago. It was the beginning of the war in Libya. The beginning of the bloodbath in Syria. I was struck already by its resemblance with this mind-blowing brother he was, long before their quarrel, the executor of the dirty work, the double: the same long face and sad head high, almost hydrocephalus; of storms, sometimes in the eye, sudden laughter and a little devilish. Except that it had broken him already with the regime. He was, from his exile in London, with his son, in contact with some of the defectors from the system. He knows better than anyone, Alawite clique who raided his country. He has before it separated, with for decades and therefore knows from the inside. For him too, Bashar, his nephew, had a fighting chance: Reform. It did not take that chance. It's over.
These three men, so different they are, agree on one thing: a regime that shoots its own people, who consider meat, a regime that knows no other language, to speak to his subjects, as fighter planes and guns, has lost any kind of law, legitimacy to govern. A more or less short term, under a scenario that, with the proviso of the last act, is not yet fully written, its fall is inevitable. In the history of the twenty-first century, this law is already a name - it is the theorem of Gaddafi.
These three men agreed on a second point: the growing isolation of the regime, the multiplicity of voices that rise, more and more powerful, from the depths of the Arab world, to force it to disarm; partners Assad, his "brothers", all those who, long ago, within the Arab League, the father had wall like other dictators in the region, and begin to let go of the son. The world has changed, they say. The human rights, the rights of peoples are in this region too, a new idea. And a regional power was born, called Qatar and who, with his calculations, his ulterior motives, its ambiguities, is now worth its weight in order to prevent harm to the most bloodthirsty regimes. As in Libya? Yes, as in Libya! Jurisprudence Libya again. The same force, the same forces, producing the same effects. How interested do not they see? Under what autism Bashar does not he understand that the same coalition is taking shape, which was due to Gaddafi and to be because of him?
Especially there is a last point are in the process of agreeing my three interlocutors. It was taboo until now. That was the word he was unwise decision. And he was even in France, men - I met when A was held before the summer, around the Rules of the Game, a rally in support of Syrian civilians killed - to say that they still preferred die having to utter. That word is "intervention." Or better: "international intervention." Why this has been done in Libya did he not been in Syria? At the two weights and two measures, this scandal of iniquity, a number of reasons. But it already: the Syrians, unlike the Libyans, do not ask. Often they refused to do. Well, this too is changing. And this is the final reason why the Damascus regime is doomed.
With Assad, war is declared.
Syria: Israel Poses Grave and Serious Threat to Middle East
http://www.sana.sy/eng/22/2011/11/21/383209.htm
Nov 21, 2011
VIENNA, (SANA) – Israel poses a grave and serious threat to the Middle East through its undeclared atomic arsenal, Syria's IAEA delegation Head, Bassam Sabbagh, said Monday at meeting meant to create a Mideast nuclear-free zone.
The Associated Press (AP) reported officials as saying that except for Syria and Lebanon, Arab countries speaking at the meeting were lower-key than usual in chastising Israel for refusing to open its nuclear program to UN probe.
AP said that apart from the Syrian and Lebanese sharp remarks, an Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the atmosphere was" much less confrontational, much less hostile" than at other IAEA gatherings focused on the Middle East that traditionally see Muslim nations speaking with one strongly critical voice about Israel's nuclear capabilities.
