It has become too embarrassing for Syria's allies to defend the regime. Hizbullah's tone has been changing (although Hasan Nasrallah is speaking tomorrow and may address the matter). It went from fierce defense of the regime to almost silence. Hamas has been largely silent as well. Al-Manar website is carrying a brief news headline that Iran considers what is happening in Syria as "an internal matter". You know what that meas? This contradicts the official regime story of a an outside conspiracy. The most vocal and most vulgar in the defense of the regime and in carrying unbelievable stories has been the Amal movement in Lebanon and its TV, NBN.
