Fw: Syria articles (WP, NYT)
Summary: Syrian President Assad is highly unlikely to enact reform, and as such the US must be prepared to support those in Syria seeking change, opines a Washington Post editorial. Ahead of a planned address, Assad will attempt to hold onto power even as he effectively sacks much of his government, according to a Washington Post op-ed. Assad could use the address as an opportunity to enact actual reform, writes a New York Times op-ed. US Senator Kerry has indicated that this is Assad's final chance to prove he can change his ways, states a Washington Post op-ed. Israel would prefer that Assad stay in power, as he has kept the Syrian-Israeli border quiet for some time, reports the same publication.
