Syrian situation still tense

The bloodshed in Syria could be tailing off but it's still unclear if a UN proposed ceasefire will stop the fighting.  Lakehead University Political Science Professor Laure Paquette says the Bashar Assad regime is still keeping forces near troubled areas but has sent troops in calm areas back to base.  She says that could be a move to rotate fresh resupplied forces into the troubles areas like Homs.  Paquette says Assad is running out of time and at best will have to accept Democratic reforms or become a wealthy ex-pat in exile.
