If Gaddhafi has left or is leaving, more presure will be put on Assad.
The world (the west) can only focus on ousting one dictator at a time, it seems. As Assad keeps killing more in Syria, it is time for him to get our full (or closer) attention. Gaddhafi has held on for far to long, and it looks to be the endgame in Libya.

With the formal admonishments and calls for Assad to leave Syria, it is rising in attention. It only took about 1800 dead to get US attention, but they have it now. Assad's days are numbered. The question is whether he will go by choice or by force. And, how far will US/NATO/UN go to ensure Assad's departure.
