BEIRUT — President Bashar Assad of Syria, sounding defiant, confident and, to critics, out of touch with the magnitude of his people’s grievances, proposed Sunday what he called a plan to resolve the country’s 21-month uprising with a new constitution and Cabinet and a national referendum.
But he offered no new acknowledgment of the gains by the rebels fighting against him, the excesses of his government, or the aspirations of the Syrian people.

Assad is going to end up just like Qaddafi, a soiled corpse spat upon by the victors. And nobody will truly regret it or be surprised.
