    The Guardian reports 2 days of continuous fighting in Damascus, more defections, even some questions being asked in Iran over whether it's wise to be backing a sinking ship...

    Too early to say it's the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning, or anything else, but the turn of events does not seem to be going Assad's way. Not much discussion here, though... possibly because there isn't much talk of intervention?
