OK.. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A " CIVIL WAR"?????
Let's look at what's going on in Syria as of today and see
if we can figure out why all the so called "experts" believe Syria
"may be heading for a Civil War, when it appears to most of the world they
are already well into one.
I found this article that basically asked the same question
about Iraq
back in 2006.
After thinking about this issue and reviewing what took
place in Iraq and what is taking place in Syria, there is one very logical
reason why Iraq was never really a "Civil War"...
The Coalition Forces!
It's hard to have a civil war when one side has a collection
of highly developed military units on it's side, especially when those forces
are from other nations to include a Super Power.. the most powerful Super
Power.
So, does this mean without intervention in Syria , Syria is heading for a so called
" Civil War"?
Again, in my opinion, they are already there and have been
for months.
I'm not sure what the academic talking heads will say, but
most of us who have watched a city or a town get bombarded by artillery, attack
helicopters and heavy armor, well.. we have a different opinion..
Lets come to terms and lets hope the UN can come to
reality....
I've said this before and I will say it again..
What is the cost of no intervention and what is the cost of intervention?
If we don't figure these two questions out very quickly,
they will find their own answers and we will all have to live with the results.
