I've Been Thinking:

Last week Syria and Lebanon agreed to establish and normalize diplomatic relations.
The next day they established a committee to lay out the border between the countries.

Syria and Lebanon have organized committees in the past and they have all failed.
Relations have never been normal between these two countries.
Syria would never tolerate such a relationship.
Syria has always understood Lebanon to be a province of Syria not a separate independent country.

But the world is different and Syria is actually feeling world pressure.
We may be witnessing the result of the huge amounts of pressure the West have been exerting on Syria.
Syria is further along now it terms of global cooperation than it has ever been.
Let's not applaud yet, let's watch and see if this is true change or cosmetic PR.
