Actually it's not to complicated at all. Seems the West has gambled that Sunni Arabs know how to conduct themselves as Democracies. IMO.....a Major Mistake!
Anyone know if Canada is backing Obama and the Syrian Situation? I mean I have heard Canada speak out about the Atorcities that Assad was committing. But I have yet to hear them say anything about the Sunni Arabs of the FSA using Children to mount offensives against Assad. Nor anything about those Christians they were massacring while playing War!
Why should the West Just give the Sunni Arabs another Country to Rule?
Forget democracy for the moment. Democracy is organic.
Many of the FSA are Defectors from the Syrian Army.. .I don't know anything about child soldiers, but there has never been any shortage of rumors and accusations in the ME.
I would tend to support Sunnis over Shias.. While I know some really sharp Shia's like Ali Naimi, for the most part I find them to be "volatile".. Saudi Arabia's Shia tend to be loyal, but a crisis can still send them over the edge. I have seen that up close and personal.
Syria has a Sunni majority and both the well to do and the middle class in Syria are Sunni. IMO the best hope for democratic reforms comes from an educated middle class.
