Syria falls to rebels, Damascus taken over; more conflicts ahead? When can World Peace be achieved?

It is more fun criticizing


In lightning moves the rebels after drving armed forces of the govt, captured  Damascus, marking the end of 13 years war, 50 years of brutal regime of Bashad Al Assad whose regime was marked by repression thousands imprisoned and brutal treatment of enemies.

Some conclusions obserrvations:

1.   It showed the weakness of Putin and his military.  Russian military assets, even sensitive ones, and fate of the naval base and air base at trisk;

2.  The rebel attack seemed to have the knowledge of Turkey.  

3.  There were rebel groups alleged armed by US

4.  This ends Irans unlimited use of Syria as highway for arms for military supplies to Hamas

5.  This will pave way for resurgence of ISIS, and other revel groups.  This will start bloodbath amongst various warring faction

6.  The Syria rebels have warned Israel, and Israel has taken preemptive strikes to secure the buffer zzone between Syria and Israel

7.  World leaders are not rejoicing over the fall of Assad, because this has disrupted the balance of power in Middle East although there regime of Assad over its citizens are not to be admired.   However he was a stable leader to deal with unlike the rebel leaders who could be unpredictable.

Were the dictators in Middle East functional?

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal Phlippines   July 28, 2014

It looks that the presence of dictators like Sadam Hussein, Khomeine  even Sadam Hussein, cruel and oppressive as they may be, has kept and unified their nations while they were in power.  They may be petty uprisings here and there but the dictators, the oligarchs got them in check.

Here comes the Westerners injecting their democratic form of govt.  What has this wrought these countries?  Disorder, more violence and suicide bombings here and there. How many wished that Sadam Hussein was still around.  There was order then.... and now....
