Sounds like they are headed for an escalation, possibly even civil war.
In Syria, world inaction fuels armed revolt
Several years ago I travelled to Damascus. I had never before seen so many men in a variety of uniforms (and even some out of uniforms) carrying AK-47s. Every street corner seemed to be patrolled by 2-3 different groups. The Assads are a brutal bunch; this is likely to get very ugly.
Damascus was a great place to visit; very, very cool. In the main mosque I saw the box which reportedly contained the head of John the Baptist.
