Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday appeared to rule out the United States intervening militarily in Syria in the same way it has in Libya, saying in a TV interview that each Arab uprising was unique.
Speaking in an interview taped on Saturday, Clinton said she deplored the violence in Syria but the circumstances were different in Libya, where Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had used his air force and heavy armour against civilians.
Bordering Israel, Lebanon and Iraq and an ally to Iran, Syria has long had a vexed relationship with the United States, which accuses it of backing Palestinian militants, meddling in Lebanon and allowing anti-U.S. insurgents to cross into Iraq.
The United States, which already has extensive sanctions on Syria, has few levers to influence Damascus and only restored an ambassador there in January after a nearly six-year gap
