    Thank you for your interest in my country

    Very tragic situation in Syria

    Whole cities demolished

    More than 100,000 people killed

    Women and children been killed every day in cold blood

    Regime kills people with his aides from Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah

    The ruling regime wants to remain in power forever

    Beginning of the revolution was peaceful without any weapon simply

    Revolution against injustice, Tgaat and steal people's money

    But the ruling regime killed many peaceful demonstrators

    Prompting people to take up arms and fight against the ruling regime

    Rebels called today the Free Syrian Army

    Has considerable control over parts of the country

    Syrian Revolution will win with time, but the qualitative arms necessary to shorten the time until the regime falls

    Shorten the time to stop the suffering of the Syrian people

    The real cause is that the United States doesn't want Syria to sell oil to other countries in anything but US dollars. Syria wants to sell oil to Russia in rubles and to China in Chinese currency and to other countries in whatever they want to exchange for the oil. Until now every large oil producing country has used US dollars for exchange and the US wants to keep it that way. That is what the war essentially boils down to.

    power. it is all about a power struggle to see which muslim group is going to win out and rule the nation. the current rulership is from the ba'ath party which has ruled in syria since 1971 and there are those who want to get rid of them and began demonstrating against them in the fall of 2011. the government responded by sending tanks and troups to quell the rebellion but it has increased instead of ceasing.

    the rebels are members of various other muslim groups who want the current president out, but the whole thing is not really a well organized movement and there is really no ruling head over the rebels. if they are successful in ousting syrias current president, then it will be a power struggle between which ever factions want to rule and the one who comes out on top will win.

    No , it's not because of "Muslims and extremists " , it just a country that wants to get rid of its heartless Dictator .

    It started as protest/ revolution and then the Syrian government responded in an extremely violent way by killing them and bombing several villages and cities ( lots of innocent kids died ) .

    Plus another problem is that it became also kind of a religious war between Alawis and Sunni Muslims ( Bashar is Alawi) .( 75 % of Syrians are Sunni Muslims and 10 % Alawis)

    Source(s): I have lots of Syrian friends and I am following the Arab spring news since the beginning with the fall of Ben Ali Tunisia .

    Islamic extremists trying to take over, the West vying for control, and Russia opposing both to protect her interests.
