Will Al-Assad follow in the footsteps of Sadat?

Will Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad follow in the footsteps of late Egyptian President Anwar Al-Sadat and join in alliance with the West even if this might cost him too much at the Arab level? This is not just a question. It is instead one of the two options available for Bashar. This debate contains both the argument that it is unlikely that Bashar will follow Sadat's example and that for him to assume such a role is no longer out of the question, since he is now a more mature leader with the necessary experience.
