That's a a complicated question, but Professor Diab also mentioned earlier that there are steps toward democracy. We can refer to that more technically, as we do in talking about aid and benchmarks.
The possibility exists that we, as part of our engagement, insist not only on accountability, which we must do, but also on benchmarks toward the goals. This is standard aid stuff, but in the case of Syria, our basic goal is to keep nudging them in the right direction and determining what would be the most effective way to get them to live up to the most aspirational goals and where they plan to go. We can help them. We have enormous expertise not only in the aid program, but again, as we talked about earlier, in terms of democracy and constitution building.
The goal in Syria can't be met by flooding it with a little money here and a little money there, although if we had it, that would be great, but the people of Syria need to have structure. The outside world can assist in that by providing targeted assistance with benchmarks, and then that leads to a positive cycle. You do this and then there's more, and you do this and there's more. A positive cycle is what we're looking for in Syria.
