5/9/12- From NATO's perspective, there can be no better outcome to the conflict in Syria than to see a fragmented nation, with both sides controlling a defined territorial space. That scenario would render Syria useless as an ally of Iran, while preventing the rise to power of Wahabi extremists, which is a distinct possibility should the Assad regime fall. Thus, it would be the best of both worlds.
With this in view, the Assad regime has absolutely no fear of a NATO military intervention at the moment. The US has undoubtedly given the green light to the Saudis and others to continue the clandestine arming and financing of the Sunni groups in Syria. The aim of this policy is not to cause Assad's downfall, but rather to ensure the continuation of a perpetual conflict in Syria.
