press release
Friday May 15, 2009 20:28 by s. nappalos - Miami Autonomy & Solidarity logos at riseup dot net
Points of Unity and Constitution of Miami Autonomy & Solidarity In May 2009 Miami Autonomy & Solidarity was founded with the included Points of Unity and Constitution. We are distributing these to get feedback from those in the movement, and let others know of our founding. Miami Autonomy and Solidarity is an organization of people whom have come together for the purpose of developing a revolutionary organization that works within social movements, as well as on the revolutionary level with the ultimate goal of contributing to an autonomous popular class movement of the oppressed that will overthrow capitalism and the state, as well as ending all forms of oppression. Role of the Specific Revolutionary OrganizationOur specific revolutionary organization is a group founded on and working towards theoretical and strategic unity, as well as tactical coordination amongst its members. These organizational principles serve to strengthen our efficiency and effectiveness in developing our ideas and strategies within the broader working class movement. It must be stated that the need for such a group arises out of the practical struggles of the working class to transform itself into a revolutionary class capable of overthrowing capitalism and the state; as well as building society along egalitarian, self-managed, and directly democratic lines.Through our specific revolutionary organization we seek to contribute to the theoretical development of revolutionary social struggles. We engage in the creation of media that communicates the views and political line of the organization, and we directly participate in struggles based on a common strategic program and coordinated activity. The political organization helps keep a historical memory of struggle and ongoing organizational strategic assessments of struggle in mass movements . We strive to retain experiences of success and failures in order to strengthen the social struggle. However, unlike some political parties that try to use social movements as a tool to develop their own power, our organizations relation to the social movements is reversed: our organization is a tool of our members and sympathizers within the social movement used to contribute towards the power of the social movements through the development of the autonomous consciousness, capacity, and solidarity of these movements. We never seek to dominate, impose upon, manipulate, command or control the movements were a part of. Rather we seek to participate as equals within the struggle, offering our ideas and methods as short and long term proposals for the movements towards liberation. Against RacismRacism is more than just a set of attitudes and behaviors, but a systemic phenomenon that is built into and executed by numerous institutions throughout society. Historically, white supremacy in the US has used the notion of whiteness to oppress people of color, while simultaneously rewarding groups and individuals who embrace and promote white supremacist rule.From a working class perspective, racism serves to keep the oppressed classes divided and disorganized to the detriment of the all within the oppressed classes. Thus, we must fight racism and prejudice of all kinds, for the unity and liberation of the oppressed classes depends on it. We believe that race and class in the United States are intrinsically connected, though they may affect certain groups of people differently. As such, we respect and support the need of certain groups of people to struggle autonomously. As class struggle militants we seek to actively build rapport with these movements, so as to help connect such struggles, and give them expression as part of a larger working class movement. We feel that more experimentation is needed to develop tools and practices which will aid in the development of a genuine multi-racial, working class movement in the US. We believe that building such a movement is the task of all serious anti-racist, anti-statist, anti-capitalist revolutionaries. Against PatriarchyPatriarchy is a system of oppression of women, of which the primary beneficiaries, as a group, are men. As a system, it depends upon the recreation of patriarchical values and beliefs, by both men and women, in order to perpetuate the dominance of men over women throughout society. Historically, men have benefited from patriarchy, as it has been used to exclude women from positions of power and influence, as well as naturalizing the role of men as leaders and decision makers. The global legacy of such oppression of women has meant that women are some of the poorest, and thus, most socially vulnerable people on the planet. Today, in our society, patriarchy is reproduced through sophisticated mechanisms of repression and consent. Such mechanisms allow for the participation of women in the system, but in such a way that men as a group still end up with a greater degree of power in relation to women as a group.We see women's liberation as a movement in itself, but also see the need to have it linked with other struggles against domination. The end of patriarchy is liberatory for both men and women. It means the end of imposed gender roles, practices, behaviors, social relationships etc. and the end of domination of women by men, the state, and capitalism. We aim to practice this in our personal relationships and groups as well as work collectively against these oppressive power relations. Queer liberationQueer liberation is the struggle against queer oppression that manifests itself through homophobia, heterosexism, trans-phobia, and other forms of domination. It intersects with other forms of oppression, as well as manifesting its own forms of systemic, cultural and personal oppression. We support the struggles of working class queers in their fight for free sexuality between consenting adults; free gender expression; equal and appropriate access to health care and other social institutions and other struggles for respect. We also support working class queers opposition to queer assimilation the struggle for an autonomous movement that is not co-opted by the state, capitalism and privileged classes that try to dominate the queer movement.Ending Capitalism and Constructing a Classless SocietyCapitalism is an economic system of organized class oppression. Capitalism is primarily a social relationship between classes that must work, and the classes that direct and employ. It is a relationship that is reproduced at every level of society by workers, managers, and bosses, within the workplace and everywhere else.A small class of capitalists own the companies, production equipment, apartment buildings, and other economic assets. The dictatorship of the capitalists derives from their direct control over all of the property of society, and locks out the oppressed classes. Within the working class we are forced to sell our time, our bodies, and minds in order to survive. Our lives and time are used up reluctantly in the ebb and flow of capitals cycles. Capitalism can only be sustained by increasing profit through increasing production and draining more wealth from the oppressed classes and the Earth. This relentless drive for profits has caused capital to overlook human and environmental devastation in the pursuit of short term gains. The capitalists efforts to increase control over work and extract greater wealth, led to the creation of a distinct section of the economy the managers and elite professionals who staff the hierarchies of the corporations and the state. Management is a tool of repression in the workplace, speeding up our work, policing the workplace, and keeping the interests of the owners as the driving force on the job. The subordination of the working class to the capitalist and bureaucratic classes is a system of oppression because it denies us control over our lives and subordinates life to the meaningless drive for profit. In the process of building a class that can only survive through selling its time and labor, capitalism locked some people out of the workforce. Some are held in near permanent unemployment, others like housewives help contribute to society's wealth but aren't paid for it. Not everyone who is in a class knows they're in a class. In fact the opposite is true. There is a difference between the class you are in objectively, and how you perceive yourself and the way you behave. In practice, we see a world of infinite divisions, continuously blurred and reorganized by capitalists and the state, and oppressed classes divided for innumerable reasons. We organize to build class unity through struggle, and build a united working class movement for the abolition of classes altogether. We recognize that only through the unity of the oppressed against capital and the state will the abolition of oppression for all be possible, it is only through building common struggle and class organization that we will succeed. The ability of the elite classes to exploit our labor and dominate us has been limited throughout the history of capitalism by revolts and mass struggles of ordinary people. The oppressed classes can liberate themselves through the development of self-managed mass organizations, which are developed through class struggle. Ultimately, we can only be rid of class dictatorships when we destroy the basis for economic classes all together, and live in a society where we control our own neighborhoods and jobs through collective democracy. We advocate a strategy for social change "from below" based on mass participation, direct democracy, collective direct action, and self-managed mass organizations, aimed towards the end of class rule and oppression. Abolition of the StateThe state is an institution of minority class rule held through a monopoly of violence and centralized decision-making, which is reproduced as a social relationship throughout society. The modern state as we know it co-developed with capitalism in Western Europe and has spread to nearly everywhere across the globe, and in almost all instances sided with economic power against the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population. Today, the position of the state, both in terms of power and its participation in the market, creates divisions amongst the ruling class in competing for control. The ruling class and the state are therefore not identical.The level of centralization both of power and wealth in the hands of the state makes any hope of change through working within the state only an illusion. History has been clear in showing that the state transforms rebels into masters or destroys those who try to defend the oppressed classes. Revolutionary change wont come by changing whos in power, only the eradication of hierarchy will achieve this. We seek a social revolution that will overthrow the state and capitalism. Yet a society-wide transformation can't happen overnight, since we have seen that the state is inside us too. Without an internal transformation, we will continue to reproduce the dominating and exploitative relations of the state and capital daily. It is only through the process of collective struggle that we can both draw out the potential for change and see the kernel of its realization. To organize a revolutionary society, we must have popular institutions that replace the necessary functions which the state and capital distorted and monopolized. After defending ourselves in revolution and achieving greater stability, the re-organization of society for human needs rather than the profit-driven production of capitalism will increasingly become our task. Against ImperialismImperialism is a system where the state and elite classes of some countries use their superior economic and military power to dominate and exploit the people and resources of other countries. The imperialist powers drain wealth from less powerful countries through debt, corporate investment, unequal power in trade, and military intervention.As countries compete for greater dominance and market control, a global power struggle and military race rises and falls again and again, while the oppressed classes are the bodies, minds, and hearts that are used up and discarded. We support popular progressive struggles against both military and economic expressions of imperialism. Today, modern warfare, combined with modern science, is used to pursue ever increasing means of torment for humanity. War is increasingly waged, not merely on bodies, but on the minds, hearts, and land of dominated countries. Torture, rape, genocide, poisoning and destroying of land are the mark of our time. Only through eradicating the root cause which drives countries to imperialist aggression, will we see an end to limitless war. Our fight is both internal and external. Internally we fight the foundations of the imperialist economy and state which provides the basis for imperialism. Externally we seek to build concrete unity, through action and solidarity with movements that struggle to end imperialism and capitalism. In countries resisting invasion or domination by the major capitalist powers, we support movements of the oppressed classes in these countries, not their local states or local elites. We don't support the national bourgeoisie and bureaucracies in their bid for power in these struggles. The history of the completed revolutions throughout Latin America, Africa and throughout the globe demonstrate the peril and vital mistake in supporting these forces. In situations where a national liberation movement aims to oust a pro-imperialist leadership in a country or fight an occupation, we support mass movements of workers, peasants, and others of the oppressed classes in their struggle against imperialism, but not the state-building project of a national liberation political party. Self-determination requires the autonomy of the popular organizations from the ruling classes and party bureaucracies. Imperialism can only be brought to an end by a social and economic transformation throughout the planet, which eliminates the system of competing states and exploitative class systems. The human species needs to evolve a new form of world association that respects the autonomy and differences of all communities or ethnic groups while allowing for democratic decision-making, rooted in grassroots institutions such as delegate congresses, to resolve global problems. The Necessity of Social RevolutionCapitalism, the State and other systems of oppression cannot be voted or convinced out of existence. The oppressed classes must lead a revolutionary struggle against the systems of domination of the elite classes and their defenders. This struggle will involve the destruction of the state; the expropriation of all land, capital, social institutions and wealth from capital;the ending of class-based economic systems; and the elimination of all forms of oppression.The old oppressive political, economic and social orders must be replaced by directly-democratic , egalitarian, and self-managed decision-making institutions. These popular institutions must be federally linked from the local level to the global level, in order to organize for common needs and around common issues. We seek an economic system that will be controlled socially through these directly-democratic, self-managed, egalitarian and cooperative structures that bases economic contribution according to individuals abilities and economic distribution according to individuals needs. However, the elite classes will not give up their privileges without a fight and will use violence, lies, withholding of resources and whatever other means of maintaining the state, capitalism and other forms of privilege and oppression as they can. There will also likely be various parties and organizations that may try to co-opt the broad struggle of the oppressed classes by trying to centralize power in their hands supposedly "on behalf of" the revolutionary struggle. The popular revolutionary struggle of the oppressed classes must defend its autonomy against both these elite classes and against any political groups trying to take the revolution under their control. The revolutionary struggle must be organized to defend itself. Popular militias should be formed accountable to and ultimately controlled directly democratically by the popular revolutionary movment communes. Were against isolated acts of violence or terrorism in the name of popular struggle. While defense of our struggle will likely necessitate violence; all violence must be liberatory violence that seeks to end systems and manifestations of oppression, not violence that seeks to reintroduce or recreate systems of oppression with different oppressors. The role of members of our revolutionary organization in this struggle is one of equals making arguments and seeking influence through persuasion within the popular revolutionary struggle; as active militants on behalf of the directly democratic revolutionary struggles; and trying to defend against those who would seek to dominate within these popular revolutionary struggles through coercion or by seeking to institute systems of control, domination or exploitation. EnvironmentTo achieve a sustainable and healthy relationship between humanity and the natural world, we must create a society which is based on the satisfaction of social needs such as food, shelter, water, and community. Modern environmental destruction is largely a result of capitalisms need to commodify the natural world and continually expand production for the wealth of a small minority. While production expands and contracts, the vast majority of the world and our environments suffer the decimation of the senseless drive to profit. We recognize that social transformation is the first step towards ecological balance, not individual lifestyle changes or technological innovations.CONSTITUTION1.

Kawai K3
The K3 uses the same technologies as the popular K1. Although it was among the first from Kawai, it is surpassed by the K1 and K5. The K3 is a wavetable synthesizer. It has 32 waveforms, some of which are samples of acoustic instruments like piano and percussion as well as some unique waveforms. By combining two of these waveforms you can create unique new sounds or add a twist to a traditional sound. Since there are only 32 of these waveforms, the K3 also features a programmable digital waveform where you can tweak the harmonic content of a waveform allowing for added flexibility and range of sounds.
What's really neat about the K3 is that (unlike the K1) it has analog filters and envelopes! So although the sound may be digital at first, it sure does get warmed going through the filter. The low pass resonant filter even has its own envelope generator. There's also a high pass filter and a highly flexible LFO. The K3 is an interesting synth, nicely bridging the gap between the analog and digital domain of vintage synthesizers. The K3M is a rackmount module version of the K3. The K3 has been used by Jan Hammer and Patrick O'Hearn.
Both are very heavy and demanding to move around. The K1 and K4 are like a feather compared to the K3 and K5. Grab em all before the frenzie hits home!
I would choose any single sound on the K3 over the multi-timbral K1 any day.
it is however a extremely good sounding poly synth.

The good: - The first half of the course features gorgeous scenery to, through and from Miami Beach and through downtown. - The cookies handed out by Publix volunteers at the finish line. - While reviewers have blasted the lack of volunteers and cups at water stops for prior Miami Marathons, all the water stops in 2013 were sufficiently staffed and there were enough cups. Plenty of water, considering the heat. The OK - The finish-line food besides the cookies. While the corn wafers were bland, I did appreciate the carbs. - 2nd half of the course features residential subdivisions, Coconut Grove, Bayshore Drive, Rickenbacker causeway and Brickell Ave - Crowd support - best was on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, downtown in Mile 12 and the last mile. The not-so-good - The heat and the humidity. Start time race temp was 68 deg and rose to 77 by the end. Humidity at start - 80%. Having trained in 30 degrees Ohio weather, I failed to make a pace adjustment for heat and paid. The first three miles trying to keep up with the pacer felt too hard. By Mile 7, I was struggling. Also, I wore the wrong shoes and had to slow to a walk by Mile 14. I ended up with a time 43 minutes worse than my PR. Not much shade on the Rickenbacker Causeway at Mile 23. - The course is not totally flat especially the MacArthur Causeway and downtown bridges and there's a demoralizing uphill on Brickell Avenue at the end. - On some of the bridges, you had to run on a metal grid. Not good for the feet. - On the MacArthur Causeway at the start, I found my way often blocked by walkers and slower runners. It was very, very crowded. I nearly tripped on someone's feet and nearly fell and a runner actually grabbed me to keep me up. - Aloof pacer who wasn't very engaging. - Lack of organization and confusion at the start corrals. The corral layout didn't match the map at the expo. They didn't allow runners to enter my corral into right before start time and it wasn't clear which direction we were going. Note: Some reviewers have complained about the pricy parking at the expo at the Miami Beach Convention Center. If you use the parking garage at 17th Street by the Lincoln St pedestrian mall a few blocks south, it's much cheaper. Also, you're assigned to a corral based on your anticipated finish time or past race time you submit. You can ask the Solutions Desk to change your corral, which I did.
Forget the PR. Miami Marathon is a fun long run without any snow. Let's face it. Its aweful up north. Fly down, have a great dinner in Miami, wake up and run. Then fly home and envy all those who remained behind. My 6th Miami Marathon is done. See you next year for my 7th!
First, the good, the course was really great. It was relatively flat and there was a lot of shade towards the end. It was a lot of fun running through south beach while people were still partying from the night before. Now, the bad: - The organization was awful. It felt like nobody in the city knew about this race and the people that knew about it felt like it was a big headache, not an amazing event. - Almost everyone is doing the half. I love half-marathons. I respect the distance and know it takes training and effort. However, it would have been nice to have some acknowledgement that I was doing the full. The full and half should have different t-shirts and different medals (not just different colored ribbons). I know other half/full marathons that give separate shirts and medals. - Because everyone was running the half, the crowd support after 13.1 is pretty minimal, although I appreciated the folks that were out there. - Some parts of the race can get very cramped, especially when the half-marathoners are still around. - I know it is hard to be a volunteer at these events. I totally appreciate them and thank them for saying my name every time. However, they should have been better trained. When I finished, there were no volunteers handing out food or asking if you needed to go the medic or podiatry tent. - That brings me to the finish. The finish was poorly organized. The volunteers did not know where the family meetup section was, the food was kind of gross and left out there, I could not find a podiatry tent (MASSIVE blister), etc... I sound like a brat, but Miami really needs to step up the organization, or just have it be a half marathon.
Course: Let's face it, it's MIAMI... so it is gorgeous for the most part, naturally a nice course with views of nice neighborhoods, ocean, palm trees, etc. Hard to have much bad to say about the course itself. Organization: WORST I have seen of any of the 30+ races I have ever run in my life. At one point, I felt like I was running a race full of runners who have never run a single race in their lives. No semblance of order in terms of fast runners veer left, slow runners and walkers stay right. That was an absolute joke, very amateurish. Runners would literally run and stop dead in their tracks on the LEFT side and slowly walk, shoulder-to-shoulder with others... if you ran the Marathon, you likely ran 27-28 miles just trying to jump sidewalks and swerve around idiots who apparently know nothing about common first grade race etiquite. If ran a PR on this course, God Bless you for doing so because you ran much further than usual for it. Also, the ENTIRE race was one giant bottle-neck clusterf**k, narrow roads for tens of thousands of people...great idea, let the 10K and 1/2 Marathon runners clog the streets so you can barely move for 13-14 miles until it clears up a little. Oh, and the 'split' for Half/Full runners was basically 2 signs side-by-side of identical font, color and size, separated by a couple staggered rails and a Mexican girl holding a miniture crossing guard flag. MANY people took the wrong split and their races were ruined...this should NEVER happen to ANY runner in ANY race. If it happens to ONE runner, it's one idiotic runner. If it happens to DOZENS of runners, it is an issue that clearly was not well constructed in advance. As far as actual race-day Logistics/Organzization goes, worst...race...ever. Spectators: Plentiful, enthusiastic, helpful, energetic. No issues at all here.
Just ran the Miami Marathon last week. The Expo picking up the bag is a nightmare to find parking. The metro is the easiest way to get to the race in the morning. The race was huge (35,000 people) so it was very crowded. I forgot my breakfast, and they did not have any food on hand ( they did have water though). You are assigned corrals by estimated time, but no one was following the assignment. 3 hour marathoners and 5 hours people were side by side. It is a simultaneous start, so it took about 2 miles to get some breathing room. After that, the race is great. South Beach is pretty, and there are still drunks out from the night prior. Almost everyone in the race is doing the 1/2 marathon, so after the half way mark, you get some space. The crowd support was OK, but nothing special. The medal is awesome, and the hospitality tent afterword is great. If you are looking to do the 'Big Marathon experience' this is an easy marathon to do it with. The course is very flat.
Great course and great organization. It was depressing once the half marathon runners split. I wish there was better crowd support in last half. Well-stocked aid stations and enthusiastic volunteers. Best of any race I have run. Great work, Miami!
This was my third time running the full and I've done several halves at Miami. The only bad part of the race in my opinion is the start. With 30k people you need a wave start. Maybe 3 waves - first 2 require qualifying times and the last for beginners. I registered late and could only get in the C corral. I looked around and there were Gs next to me. People were walking in mile one. That needs to be more organized. Other than that the race is great. Beautiful course and awesome volunteers! Easy and flat except for a couple small bridges.
This race was personally disappointing as I was shooting for a BQ but wasn't very close. This was my second marathon. So much more of an experience at this than the prior smaller race. Crowd support was super through miami beach, again before the half broke off back in downtown, out at biscayne and through the last two miles to the finish. I had never experienced anything like that and I found it great and a huge help. But I had trained hard for a possible BQ and the heat and humidity really did me in even though I have lived in fl for a year. Warning, when it is 70 degrees at the start, you need to adjust your goal accordingly. I didn't and suffered for it. Even my buddies who did adjust missed still their BQ times. But the scene at the start was pretty cool. I took off with the 3:25 pace group in the c coral but spent two miles dodging slower runners and traffic cones in the road. wtf on the cones? Notwithstanding my poor result, I would do this race again. One other thing I should mention, after hitting the potty at 11 mile mark, I was a bit behind my pace group. As I was pushing to catch up I saw my pacer going back the other way. Not really sure what that meant. Did she quit? Did all her runners drop out or off pace? Kinda weird. I'm sort of hoping someone else chimes in with the answer here.
Nice view, but way too many slow people who work there way to the front and then walk 3 across; blocking the way for people who actually put in the correct information for the corral.
Miami marathon is a great race. The course is scenic and well-stocked with aid stations. Volunteers were enthusiastic and supportive. The only negative was the way in which the half marathoners were integrated with the full. At mile 13 (after miles of enthusiastic support including a raucous 'fan zone' at mile 10) the half runners left, and then it was a sad and lonely journey for the last half. Miles 17-21 are tough in any race, and to endure it after fans leave is worse. That said, it was still a good race. I will return!

Welcome to the BirdForum Opus
The interactive birding encyclopaedia
Welcome to the Opus, an interactive, multimedia encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. You can use the Opus to find out about everything to do with birds - from the birds themselves to the places you can find them. Featured Article: Caura Antbird
IdentificationThis species is similar to the Spot-winged Antbird and the Roraiman Antbird (the latter is a recent split from the Spot-winged Antbird). At ca. 15 cm both are smaller than the Caura Antbird, which has a total length of ca. 19 cm. The male Caura Antbird is best separated from both species by its red eyes and all-dark bill (no pale lower mandible). It is also more uniform than the clearly two-toned male Spot-winged. DistributionThe range of the Caura Antbird extends through the Guianan Plateau in the BolÃvar and Amazonas states in southern Venezuela to extreme northern Amazonas state in Brazil. BehaviourThey are highly associated with large boulders. Getting Started

Fleet Week...America's Cup...Hardly Strictly Bluegrass...San Francisco Giants playoffs...San Francisco 49ers game...Italian Heritage Parade...Castro Street Fair...whew! It's all happening in San Francisco this weekend and the city could see up to an additional 1 million people visit.
So, if you're looking to avoid traffic jams and crowds, there's plenty to do in and around the South Bay. There are more fests, gatherings and activities going on in Redwood City and nearby this weekend than we've ever seen before!
Click here for more information on the San Carlos Art & Wine Faire, the Chocolate Fest at the Congregational Church of Belmont, and Oktoberfest at the Hiller Aviation Museum.
And click here for information on PortFest, the 15th Annual Olive & Arts Festival at Cañada College, Sequoia High School's Horses to Horsepower and Redwood City's Author Night.
Although Caltrain and SamTrans will not be offering any additional service this weekend to accomodate the crowds from the Peninsula, BART is boosting its capacity.
However, if you are going to attend one of San Francisco's events, the City had this posted on its website:
"This weekend will be a great one for our City and we have the transportation system prepared," said SFMTA Director of Transportation Ed Reiskin. "We urge anyone who will need to get around San Francisco that weekend to know their options, plan well, and leave their cars at home. We urge everyone to avoid delays by taking Muni, a bike, a taxi or a walk when getting around that week and weekend."
Additional transit, biking and taxi options will be made available at various events, including extra bus shuttles on Market Street, a new pilot service on The Embarcadero, more buses and trains on most direct routes to and from special events, free bike valets, additional signage for cyclists and pedestrians, bike rentals are available throughout the city and 100 additional taxi will be made available with additional taxi zones at key events.
A lane of northbound The Embarcadero between Washington and Bay streets will be converted to bicycle use only on Saturday and Sunday.
For more information about getting around the City this weekend, go to SFMTA: www.sfmta.com or call 311.


text: For 2004 Yamaha has released the third generation R1, and all I can say is, For starters, it has an entirely new engine that pumps out a claimed 180-ram air assisted horsepower at 12,500 rpm. You have to look back to the FZ 750 of 1985 for Yamaha's first forward slanted five-valve engine. And sticking to their unique design, Yamaha's engineers have tilted this year's engine 10 degrees forward, for a total lean of 40 degrees from vertical.Inside the new cylinder head, the intake and exhaust valves have grown 5mm in diameter while shrinking in length. Both sets of valves have steeper angles and use stronger springs as the new engine revs some 2,000 rpm higher than the previous model. Yamaha YZF-R1 Fairings

The Obama administration asserts America is "not alone" in planning its proposed Syria strikes, though ally countries have yet to formally join the call for limited military action now advanced by the White House.
Whether other countries will participate in an American offensive against Syria remains to be seen. Short of an official White House list of who's in, analysts and CNN correspondents size up which countries may -- or may not -- play a military or diplomatic role in a planned U.S.-led air assault on Syria.
What about the British, our loyal ally in the Iraq War?
Forget it.
In a staggering setback to Prime Minister David Cameron, the British House of Commons said no to joining a U.S. assault against Syria. The United Kingdom is overwhelmingly against another Middle East conflict, with only 16 percent in favor of militarily punishing the Syrian regime.
Is there a chance UK legislators might reconsider?
It's possible, experts say, because Obama's strategy to make a public case before Congress for a limited Syria attack may win favor in Europe.
However, Cameron seemed to quash speculation that there might be a new Commons vote Wednesday.
"Britain cannot be and will not be part of any military action" against Syria, he said, adding that he respects the outcome of last week's vote and "will not be bringing back plans for British participation in military action."
The White House alleges that the Syrian regime is deploying chemical weapons that are killing innocent children and adults in a civil war that has lasted more than two years.
"It'll be interesting to watch in the coming days if the Obama administration's case on chemical weapons reverberates with the European public," said Andrew Tabler, senior fellow of the Washington Institute.
Well, who in Europe does support us?
It could be France, in something of a role reversal from 2003, when France declined to join the Iraq invasion but the British sent many troops.
The French parliament is expected to debate military action against Syria this week. But there's not a lot of nationwide support for such an intervention -- only one in three people in France endorses punishing Syria.
But the French are more open than the Germans, who are against it by a 5-1 ratio. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is facing re-election later this month, said her country won't participate in any military action, though she called the plight of the Syrian people "catastrophic."
Where does Israel stand on all this?
Israel, the ultimate U.S. ally in the Mideast, has already intervened in the Syrian conflict but in a measured way, using isolated bombing in instances that Israel deemed Syrian aggression.
"They have been doing this tit-for-tat thing," said Jeff Martini, Middle East analyst for the Rand Corporation.
For now, Israel is maintaining a low-profile in the international debate about whether to launch an offensive against Syria because it doesn't want to further antagonism between it and Arab neighbors. Israel's vast military force -- fighter jets, surveillance, early warning systems -- would be an important asset to American forces if an attack on Syria proceeds.
"Israel is doing its part by keeping quiet," Martini added. Israel is being supportive behind the scenes.
What about U.S. access to Turkey's air bases?
Some Turkish support will be public, and some will be under the table, said Anne-Marie Slaughter, president and CEO of the New America Foundation. The same goes for Saudi Arabia and Jordan, she said.
How a no-boots-on-the-ground attack against Syria would play out hasn't been revealed by the Obama administration.
Bombing would likely include missiles launched from the U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea.
The use of other countries' soil in the region for air strikes is uncertain, experts say.

By Bruce Stokes, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Bruce Stokes is the director of Global Economic Attitudes at the Pew Research Center. The views expressed are his own.
This year promises both challenges and opportunities for transatlantic relations. Afghanistan and Syria pose new tests for NATO. The looming confrontation with Iran over its nuclear weapons program could try Alliance solidarity. But 2013 may also be the year that Washington and Brussels begin the integration of the world's two largest economies. Indeed, the next twelve months could prove key for both security and economic ties between Europe and the United States.
Why? After two decades of talking about it, the European Union and the United States may finally launch free trade negotiations this year. More than half of the American public thinks that increased trade with the European Union would be good for the United States, according to a Pew Research Center survey, confirming earlier findings in both Europe and the United States by the German Marshall Fund. And an EU-U.S. deal would actually prove more beneficial to the United States than the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement it is currently pursuing in Asia, according to separate studies by the European Centre for International Political Economy in Brussels and the Peterson Institute in Washington.
So the politics and the economics of such an accord seem aligned.
On the security side, however, there are challenges ahead.
Both Pew and GMF surveys show that Americans and Europeans continue to back NATO, but they want out of Afghanistan, currently the joint U.S.-European military operation. How that disengagement is managed may shape future public support for NATO.
The future European and American role in the Syrian quagmire may also test transatlantic cooperation. Publics on both sides of the Atlantic are clear; they do not want their governments to get involved. Almost a third of Americans say Uncle Sam has no responsibility to do anything in Syria, according to recent Pew survey. And an earlier GMF poll found 59 percent of Europeans said stay out of Syria completely. How European and American governments square their interest in stability in the region with their public's antipathy for involvement in yet another war could prove a serious alliance challenge.
Iran could also try alliance cohesion. Europe and the United States have worked closely in ratcheting up economic sanctions on Tehran in recent years. But the day of reckoning on the Iranian nuclear weapons program may come this year.
More than half of Americans want the Obama administration to take a firm stand against Tehran's nuclear ambitions, according to a recent Pew survey. And only 28 percent of Americans who oppose Iran's nuclear program are willing to accept a nuclear armed Iran, according to a separate survey. Significantly more French, Germans and British would tolerate Tehran having nuclear weapons. U.S. President Barack Obama has ruled out containment of Iran's nuclear ambitions. But while the American public seems to agree, the European public is less convinced.
Complicating all these challenges are the domestic diversions facing both Europe and the United States. The euro crisis will continue to absorb both the time and energies of European leaders, while diverting public attention and complicating almost all governmental initiatives. On the other side of the Atlantic, the American public is increasingly isolationist: 83 percent say the country should pay less attention to problems overseas and more attention to problems at home, a sentiment up ten points in the last decade.
European leaders have long fretted about Washington's declining engagement with Brussels. But the issues confronting the transatlantic relationship in 2013 suggest a possible reengagement on a range of issues. How those challenges get resolved -- and if those opportunities are realized -- could determine the trajectory of U.S.-European relations for years to come.
