Syria's entry into the peace process has not forced Pipes to alter his argument; indeed, every time there is a stalemate in the Syrian-Israeli negotiations, he attributes it to Asad's interest in keeping the process going without ever coming to closure.

3. Despite Israel's defeat of Syria in the 1967 war, radicals in the Ba'th leadership opposed any political settlement and proposed carrying on a guerrilla war for the liberation of Palestine. Asad argued that the Syrian army could not repulse the Israeli retaliation this would bring on and that Syria had to concentrate on the more realistic goal of recovering the Golan. This split eventually led to Asad's overthrowing his radical rivals.
