One of Syria's leading businessmen says its economy is being crippled by foreign sanctions and that the government is slowly disintegrating.
Faisal al-Qudsi, the son of a former Syrian president, told the BBC the military action could only last six months and then there would be "millions of people on the streets".

The Syrian people are getting bolder and stronger.
They now control parts of the capital as well as some smaller towns. Quite an achievement against a repressive nazi-like regime.
Onwards and Upwards !
from Jeremy Bowen (BBC News) -
A convoy of journalists, without regime minders, went alone to Saqba, a poor district about 20 minutes from central Damascus, where a funeral was due to happen of a man killed by the Assad regime's forces.
Once we left the centre we saw no regime security men. Then on the edge of Saqba we came upon several dozen armed and masked fighters from the Free Syria Army.
Local people said that the intelligence and police conducted operations in the area, sometimes a couple of times a week, sometimes every night.
It's clear that the regime forces, when they deploy enough men, can enter the rebellious suburbs of Damascus. But they do not appear to have the force to hold them. |

Indeed, Kevin.
Arab League approves sanctions - www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15901360 - and has anyone else noticed just how the despotic Arab states are starting to listen to their people?
Bahrain? Yemen?
The loony Gaddafi did some good after all ! |

Looks as if the peaceful protests (met with guns and killings) has now turned violent on both sides.
Thats what happens when you ignore desperate people crying out for help. |
