Hit it or love it, but make up your mind already!

The US should make a choice both for its sake and that of Syria's neighbours.
It should either take the decision to hit it and affect regime change, or engage Syria in constructive diplomacy.

If it wants to hit, it has the perfect excuse: During the last couple of weeks Syria and its Lebanese allies have made a major mistake in Lebanon.
It seems that they have created and backed Al Qaeda in Lebanon. It is clear that the rogue missile strike on Israel a couple of weeks ago was the work of Syria with the tacit consent of Hezbollah.
Later on Al Qaeda claimed the strike.
Furthermore, the Lebanese authorities arrested in the last couple of days members of a Al Qaeda cell that infiltrated Lebanon from Syria.
This is a neocon dream come true. The fable of Saddam and Al Qaeda is true about the Syrian regime.
That is enough to “cruise missile” the Baath regime in Syria to death.
If a Sunni government is put in place and the safety of the Alawite community is guaranteed than there will not be another Iraq on the borders of Israel.

On the other hand, the US can also assuage the regime's fear and open a positive dialogue with President Assad that will take into consideration Syria’s strategic needs to have some kind of political control over Lebanon. In the process it will get Syria to cooperate in Iraq.

Whatever policy it chooses, the US should make a decision soon. Because what is happening right now (pity pressure that tickles the Syrian regime and makes it stronger and kills US marines in Iraq and create instability in Lebanon), is bad for everyone except Syria.
