Undeterred by that previous mess, U.S. planners are busily concocting grandiose plans to remodel Syria’s society, security, economy, and political system — despite the objection of the Syrian opposition to foreign ‘transition plans.’ The officials are cautioning the Syrian opposition in the post-Assad era to avoid dismantling the military, police, and government agencies.”
