All three of these nations border Syria, and even if they aren't given any type of direct influence, they should be able to have some say in the matter, IMO. Defectors have gone to Jordan and Lebanon. Killing and violence has spilled over into Lebanon twice, as I recall. An all out civil war in Syria will affect those countries more directly, in some cases, than Qatar and Kuwait.
