There was an item on this morning's BBC Today radio programme that made me prick up my ears. Following claims that Western intelligence had stared assisting the Assad regime in Syria in its fight against cihadists, it was suggested that the West was reevaluating its relations with the current Syrian regime and a number of Western countries were considering sending diplomats back to the country.
This ties in with the ousting of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and current attempts to oust the Erdoğan-AKP regime, these both being supporters of the Syrian rebels, and especially the Islamist wing of this rebellion.
