IRAN FORGOT TO GIVE SYRIA THE ANTIDOTE
for two months now I've been talking about the 'Tunisian Virus' and the impact on the Middle East and North Africa.
I've talked about how Iran has made a  very good attempt to 'weaponize' the Virus in order to utilize it against the Gulf Nations.
I've talked about how difficult and downright dangerous it is for any nation to think it can control the Virus.
Well; in the past three days, Syria seems to a prime example of just how uncontrollable  this Virus really is!
Iran's  clever sound bites about the US being fast to support the people of Egypt  and Libya, yet being somewhat silent on the topic of Bahrain, Yemen and Saudi have played well so far.
The shoe now seems to be on the other foot.
Iran must justify the heavy-handed  response of Syria and in doing so, play right into the hands of those in Iran who also want 'Change'.
"Change" ... A buzz word that seems to have a much different meaning in the Muslim world than in the US.
So what is going on?
Nothing has changed from what I predicted would happen two months ago.
The 'Tunisian Virus' shows the ability to attack all host nations and that is going to be a troublesome concept outside of North Africa and the Middle East if the world economy continues to tank.
Here is one true advantage Iran and Syria have over the free world.
They control their press/ media.
The pictures painted in Iran and Syria will be only what the leadership allows it to be.
A HUGE difference compared to CNN / FOX / BBC / coverage in Egypt, Libya. Tunisia ect .. ect..
Ok. Get ready for this.
We may need to rely on Al Jazerra to keep the news moving in Iran and Syria.
I know that sounds wild, but it just may be the difference maker; that and social medias.
Is Syria in real trouble of social unrest?
Yep! I believe they are.
I told several people today that Syria is to Iran what Bahrain is to Saudi.
The truth is Syria is more important to Iran than Bahrain is to Saudi!!!
Early on in this remarkable event, I stated a wounded Iran and or Syria is a very dangerous moment.
Iran is not Egypt. It is not Libya.
Iran cannot afford to lose Syria as it's 'proxy war-fighter'.
What Iran is willing to do to avoid the 'Tunisian Virus' appearing in Syria and Iran is anyone guess.
I know Yemen and Bahrain and Libya have the media's attention right now, but trust me when I say, we need to keep a very close eye on Syria and Iran.
You can bet Israel is!!
