  1. The caption on the thumbnail graphic - "It's not over yet!" As someone who was posted in Syria and lived there for a year, I can say with feeling - "You're goddam right, it isn't!!" Syria; like Iraq and Libya and even Yugoslavia before it, is an absolute dog's breakfast of ethnicities, religions, sect, tribes and so on and loyalties are at best, fleeting. The only good thing about thugs like Assad, Saddam, Qadaffi and Tito was that they kept a firm lid on things. The people were all united in their hatred of the regime and as such, had no time to hate each other. Remove the strongman and that element goes away..... And you've seen the result! Further evidence of the total lack of credibility of the western mainstream media is the way they are all celebrating the events of the past few weeks as some sort of liberation and the beginning of some new age of peace and harmony and the like; much the same as we heard from them during the "Arab Spring." Which only proves how little they know and understand about the region, its people and how things work there. Anyone who lived there like I did could've told them they were delusional and I was proven right. Thank God we now have alternate sources of media like Shirvan who tell people the truth instead of blowing sunshine up people's asses!
