DARAA, Syria -- Thousands of Syrians took to the streets Friday demanding reforms and mourning dozens of protesters who were killed during a violent, weeklong crackdown that has brought extraordinary pressure on the country's autocratic regime, activists and witnesses said.
There were no immediate reports of serious violence.
Daraa, the main city of southern Syria's drought-parched agricultural heartland, has become a flashpoint for protests in a country whose leadership stands unafraid of using extreme violence to quash internal unrest. The coming days will be a crucial test of the surge of popular discontent that has unseated autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt and threatens to push several others from power.
Anyone taking bets as to Obama involving the US in a war there as well? I mean, if 3 wars are good, four should be better, right?
I'm trying to remember my history...but I don't recall any time in the past that we have been involved in 3 wars at once.
The Middle Eastern "revolutions" are by design. We are witnessing the implementation of a new war strategy; it's really just one big war with multiple theatres that has been ongoing for at least a decade. The chaos will wipe out any cohesion and hostile (to the West) control within the region. The West will take over in due time to "liberate" the remaining oil resources with minimal "hassle".

ALL OF THIS is because the world sees Bararck Hussein Obama as a WEAK PRESIDENT. They know he will not commit American troops to stop any of these "revolutions". The world was more peaceful under George Bush.
All this uprising in the Middle East is Obama's fault. He showed that the getting "uppity" can result in freedom, even for "Moozlims". Yep, it's Obama's fault!

Do you blame your used car salesman if your car gets bad gas mileage too?
The world was never peaceful. It probably never will be. We may have large cranial capacities and be (mostly) hairless, but we are still apes nevertheless. Understand that and you'll begin to understand the ebb and flow of world politics.

It's Bush's fault, actually. Bush gave the Mid East a taste of freedom, 0bama is the captain on a rudderless boat caught in the storm.

Why commit American troops, if these "revolutions" eerily seem similar to tactics that British intelligence used in the colonial days? I think these "revolutions" are being perpetrated by MI6 (aka SIS) and the CIA. And remember, al-Qaida is a product of the CIA
