This is sounding so much like Lybia...

"Syrian rights activists and residents say government security forces and tanks have carried out fresh raids on houses in central Syria, searching for anti-government activists in an ongoing crackdown against dissent.

The activists said the raids Wednesday included troops in the flashpoint city of Hama.

The operations come a day after the United States announced it is widening sanctions on Syria. The new asset-freezes and bans on business interactions include Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, presidential adviser Bouthaina Shaaban, and Syria's ambassador to Lebanon, Ali Abdul Karim Ali."


And further in the article...

"Activists say protests calling for Mr. Assad's ouster have grown more frequent since the fall of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi."

I do not envy the administration as this is a very touchy and potentially very dangerous situation.
