U.S. Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing Daniel Glaser arrived in Beirut today to discuss Lebanon's adherence to international sanctions on the Syrian regime. Since the start of the Syrian uprising, the U.S. and E.U. have been rounding up sanctions against the Syrian regime and freezing the assets of major Syrian officials.
The tides may be turning against the Syrian regime as it starts to lose its friends, both regionally and internationally. As the Syrian revolution enters its third month, with the death toll surpassing 1,000, observers are starting to cast doubt on the survival of the regime.
The death toll in Syria's uprising has risen to 750 civilians since the protests began in March. According to human rights groups, around 10,000 Syrians have been arrested -- nearly all of them are still in detention.
