I think the only people that should go in are the UN who in theory are the only acceptable solution but after the old Yugoslavia debacle amongst others public opinion here at least, largely sees them as a waste of time, so in practice I don't know how good they would do. As I'm generally anti-war, it pains me to say that the only other option would be to include the predicatable international force, but any force I feel would need to be made up of other Arab states and have approval from Russia. Which I don't see happening, so I think Syria will need to deal with this internally.

Im not psychic but I think it's pretty obvious that all the protesters in Syria have in mind right now is to either kill him or oust him(Bashar Al-Assad).

But it's not always as simple as this, there has probably been quite a few attempts on his life already that we just don't know about. As I said on an earlier post, when these dictators are killed by the mob, its normally after large sections of the army have gone over to the rebels rather than a perfectly executed asssassination attempt. So no it doesn't surprise me at all that he's not dead.
