Washington is inclined to declare illegitimate the Syrian regime, say news agencies based on words a representative of the U.S. government.
According to the source, the White House is close to the point that would force the United States and the international community to act.
The debate within the administration on a tougher attitude toward the regime of Bashar al-Assad occurs while continuing atrocities in Syria. More than 750 civilians have died since the beginning of the protests for nearly two months and some 9,000 people still detained, as the leader of a Syrian human rights group.
"We urge the Syrian Government to cease fire the protesters, allowing peaceful demonstrations, stop these arbitrary arrests and initiate a meaningful dialogue, "said Mark Toner Tuesday, State Department spokesman. He said that Assad still had the opportunity to make peace, but warned that" window is closing ".
For its part, the European diplomat, Catrin Ashton, said will exert maximum pressure against the Syrian authorities .
The EU sanctions against Syria include the seizure of arms and material used for repression as well as asset freezes and visa bans for thirteen senior government of Bashar al-Assad.
"I do not think that the situation in Syria could be near a military intervention or a no-fly zone, as is the case of Libya . The sanctions, for now, are the most appropriate solution by the European Union and U.S.. UU. The European Union can apply more punishment, because they are more likely to put pressure on Syria to Americans, since it is one of the most important trade partners of Syria. So, I think the situation is far from the stage at the moment Libyan important thing is to see what consequences cause the penalties imposed against Syria now, "said James Denselow, an expert on Middle East policy.
