they include but are not limited to:

Assad's resolve being hardened. He becomes even more aggressive.

More H'zbollah fighters flooding into Syria to fight for the regime.

More Iranian and other fighters flooding in to fight for the regime.

More fighters from outside Syria flooding in to join rebel factions

The Syrian conflict bleeding into neighboring countries as is happening in Lebanon

Iran, H'zbollah or some other actor attacking Israel

Israel striking back and bombing, for instance, Lebanon or god forbid Iran

Blowback against U.S. interests

The closing of the Straits of Hormuz

I hope people get the idea.
