Nasrallah, Assange and injustice in Syria

 "Once everyone is around a table, what happens? Not much. The security edifice of the Assads will remain intact, while the opposition will have to end all military operations, or risk being accused of torpedoing the Annan plan. The regime will go around in circles, perhaps eventually offering the opposition the ragged bone of limited representation in a new government. This will be hailed as a victory for peace, but no Syrian government of the past 42 years has ever held power. By the time Assad’s pliant interlocutors realize this, the game will be up and the Syrian president will have dodged a bullet."

 I think the writer has his own issues with Hezbollah, but in terms of Syria the argument seems faultless.[Though I think "held" should read "shared" or "relinquished"]
