On the face of it, it's hard to know what to believe about the upheaval in Syria.
What do we know?
We know that there are a lot of people pissed off at their dictator.
We know that this has been an armed campaign against the dictator from the first days of the uprising.
We know that the armed campaign is organized and financed by foreign countries: France, UK, Turkey, Qatar, and the US, among others.
Can this campaign free the people of Syria?
Many of the same players just recently concluded their campaign to free the people of Libya. How is that going for the people of Libya?
Those who promote the present unrest within Syria also posit a future Syrian state that cuts its ties with Iran and becomes a friend and ally of Israel and America.
How realistic is that?
