Syrian Rebels Hit Assad’s Air Facilities
A monitoring group said the rebels have hit back hard on President Bashar al-Assad airing facilities. 20,000 people have been killed in Assad's 17-month-old uprising. Assad has lost control of rural areas in northern, eastern and southern regions and has resorted to helicopter gunships and fighter jets to alleviate his foes. The aerial bombardment has caused a flood of refugees into neighboring countries.

Please let us all remember that as in Libya, and now Syria, the Arab Spring opposition was aided and abetted by agents from the West in order to destabilize the list of governments slated for regime change in what the Pentagon labels the "long war" as occasioned on 9/11. While we may view these regimes as oppressive and brutal I suggest we also be careful of who we are cheering for lest they be more of the same and then some. This includes those scheming for control of the world by the financial and corporate elites, already in complete control in the West, and so able to use the Western military and intelligence agencies for their own agendas.

What I have read is young people protested and in most case got little support from the West and in my country Mr Obama was criticized by Republican leaders for watching a blood bath. After great promise of change in Syria and Egypt little was happened to indicate democracy will take place. As I understand the military runs Egypt. Libya is run by the Muslin Brother Hood and no democracy has swept in . Sharia law replaced dictators. Is the region more stable? In my opinion the answer is no.
