#2 Syria has too many Sunnis (who are a 75% majority). Jordan has too many Palestinians. If Assad can encourage 10m Sunnis to move to Jordan, thereby reducing their Syrian % to 50%, that would partially solve his demographic problem, while also helping to solve Jordan's problem of an excessive % of Palestinians.

#3 The smart move for Assad would be to open the border to people leaving, while closing it to people trying to get back in.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
