\"\"This hour On Point: Uprising and crackdown in Syria.<\/a>
\nOn Point is an NPR radio chat show with host Tom Ashbrook<\/p>\n

Guests:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Anthony Shadid joins us from Beirut, Lebanon. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for the New York Times.<\/p>\n

* Rami Khouri also joins us from Beirut. He is an internationally-syndicated columnist and editor-at-large for Lebanon\u2019s Daily Star Newspaper and Director of the Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University in Beirut.<\/p>\n

* Joshua Landis, joins us from Norman, Oklahoma. He is Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He runs a blog called \u201cSyriaComment.com.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Anthony Shadid<\/strong> is from Oklahoma City and went to the University of Oklahoma!<\/p>\n

We peer into the uprising and brutal crackdown in Syria. Will the \u201cArab Spring\u201d come to a grinding halt at Syria\u2019s doorstep, or will it sweep away the Assad regime along with the others? The jumpy, helter-skelter cell phone videos coming out of Syria are terrifying. Tanks and heavy machine gun fire tearing up streets full of screaming, running protestors. Defiance. Blood. Funerals. Despair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Syria is not Egypt. Not Tunisia. Not even Libya. There is no NATO intervention here, just a hot wing of the Arab Spring grinding up against a determined dictator whose army is fully ready to shoot and kill.<\/p>\n

And yet, Syria is in the heart of the Arab world. If the power falls here, all bets are off. For Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
