Is the Syrian Regime Capable of Reform?

Is the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad capable of reform?

Joshua Landis at Syria Comment.Com, an Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern Studies in the History Department and the School of International and Area Studies at the University of Oklahoma, has an informative debate on the subject at his blog

Mr. Landis, an Arabic speaker, is currently living in Damascus on a year-long Fulbright Scholarship, which ends in December 2005.

For background on the debate, please see "Landis Defends: Young, Allaf, Abu Khalil Attack."

This is a good one, dear readers.
