Abstract
Regime change in Iraq has not only deprived Syria of a source of material and political support, but also magnified the unwelcome attentions of the United States. On 21 July, President George W. Bush again warned Syria that it would be held accountable for its sponsorship of groups designated as terrorist. Over the last 30 years, Syria's ruling Alawite regime has survived on its remarkable strategic opportunism, but the view from Damascus now is bleak. Isolated in the region, overshadowed by its neighbours and with a stagnant economy, the regime has few, if any, options to improve its circumstances.
