We are talking about workers and farmers, men, youth and women, who were just a few kilometres from the village, working in the fields for the apple harvest, a major source of livelihood for the local population. Abou Fadel, a Catholic and father of one of the victims, contacted by Fides news agency, said he heard gunfire and blasts, “so we went to see what was happening. We saw lots of vans and pick-ups that brought people away. In the fields there were only boxes with the apple harvest left.”

The “Benghazi moment” is likely engendering a rethink in the United States’ regional strategies in the Middle East. One is inclined to agree with the Time magazine’s assessment that a Libya-style intervention by the US in Syria now becomes highly unlikely. A curious aspect of Tony Karon’s analysis is that he tosses the Syrian ball into the court of the Arab governments.

Plus que jamais, Beijing appelle à une résolution pacifique et politique de la situation syrienne, même comme sur le terrain, les forces de Bachar Al-Assad sont entrain, petit à petit, d’éradiquer la vermine terroriste. Alors que la Chine a réitéré, hier, par la voix de son ministre des Affaires étrangères Yang Jiechi, que, son pays ne tolèrera aucune ingérence étrangère dans les affaires syriennes, c’est déjà le cas. Il a exhorté par la même les Syriens à s’entendre en suivant le plan de l’Envoyé spécial de la Ligue arabe et de de l’ONU en Syrie Lakhdar Brahimi. Et, surprise, un autre son de cloche vient de Grande Bretagne.

(AGI) Berlin – NATO has no intention to launch a military intervention in Syria. The statement was made on Thursday by Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen who explained that the situation in Syria is completely different from the one in Libya. “In Libya we intervened on the basis of a UN mandate and we had strong support throughout the region, nothing of which relates to Syria”. “From a religious, ethnic and political standpoint, the Syrian society is also much more complex than the Libyan one and therefore an intervention would have incalculable consequences in the region. The best solution for Syria is a political one”. .

It takes , seemingly, an outside perspective to tell us what is happening in the West. The regime change programme had already failed. The US chiefs-of staff didn’t like the proposed no-fly-zone or the Banghazi-style safe havens. Now the Benghazi style has become very unfashionable overnight. The problem for the US is that “you can’t retreat” and especially you can’t retreat leaving your NATO allies, France and Turkey, twisting in the wind. The US has to abandon its Al Qaeda and Salafists allies in Syria without endangering the unity of NATO. The Benghazi attack gives them the pretext to do that and the allies will understand that there is no choice. Already the arch-hawk Fabius, French foreign secretary, is reduced to only calling for more sanctions against Assad. At the same time rotation is likely with Obama and left going down with the ship of regime change and the way opening up to a Romney presidency and whatever that might bring.

Washington, Sept. 13: The fatal attack on the American ambassador to Libya and three other US personnel at their consulate in Benghazi has had the immediate result of ending the prospect of any western military effort to change the regime in Syria in the foreseeable future.
