Finally, some pressure on Syria?

According to the New York Times,pressure might finally be applied on Syria:

Russia, an important ally of Syria, signaled new support for possible Security Council action, Syrian democracy activists received a warm welcome in Washington, Italy withdrew its ambassador to Damascus, and the top United Nations rights official warned Syria that “the world is watching.”
