Syria Audio: Scott Lucas on the BBC "The State of the Regime"

Former diplomat Andrew Green and I appeared on BBC Radio's flagship radio program Today this morning to discuss the current situation in Syria, assessing in particular the importance of the Assad regime in the region and whether it is in danger of collapsing.

My take-away line, which I have used about the challenge to the regime in another country: "This is a marathon, not a sprint."

The discussion begins at the 2:53.55 mark.
