Syrian Leader Gets Top Billing in Middle East by Doing Nothing President Bashar al-Assad is once more one of the "triple pillars" of the Middle East. We may not like that.

George Bush may curse the day his invasion of Iraq helped to shore up the power of the Caliph of Damascus.

Without a shot being fired, Mr Assad has ensured anyone who wants anything in the Middle East has got to talk to Syria. He's done nothing - and he's won.
