Syrian Civil War?


Recommended Posts

theres me watching the TV trying to pock out the t72s and t55s jajaja, man.

its scary sometimes to watch something youve played in a game parry out in the real world, same thing happened with the Russian invasion of Georgia 2008, was scarringly close to the Ghost Recon story line, same year, same time, even the president was named after a character in the game!

Keep in mind that the Assad family is a powerful clan of the Alawite sect -- a Shiah sect -- that rules over a 90% Sunni population, the only place in the Middle East where this is true (usually it's the reverse -- Iraq, Bahrain). Hence the close ties to Iran.

A civil war in Syrian could be a very real possibility, especially if the AQ Iraq fighters (whose support network ran through Syria, with the complicity of the government which wanted the US out of Iraq) turn their attentions back across the border. They have been trying to ignite sectarian war between the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq for years now. Salafists and Wahabis hate Shiites, whom they call "Rafidha" (renegades), worse than they do infidels.
