Review of article on Syria in economist
Article gives very idealistic view on Syria which lead us to believe that whole Syria has been suffering under Assad rule and now is looking on rebels for it's emancipation and liberation . It's portray the whole thing as internal matter of Syria, where Assad's policy and dictator rule has pushed Syrian people to rebel . But reality is quite different. A very false impression has been created. Veil support of Western Countries and Saudi Arabia to arm rebel is form of logistic supply is well known in diplomatic circle or to people keeping eye on Syria. Assad is not paying for his dictatorship but paying price of his closeness to Iran . As part of containment strategy and mounting pressure over Iran , Syria has been made a scapegoat . UN guided by USA show double standards when Saudi forces march in Bahrain to crush popular unrest there . It remained a mute spectator . But in Syria when rebel who comes from 20% of country suddenly found favor of world community and Assad who was slowly yielding to democratic reform was soon portrayed as dictator . Still Assad enjoy support of majority of Syrian people . This was quite evident that these rebel initially were active only on country where they had strong withhold . Country sovereignty has to be respected . We did not find any instant where Syrian forces crushed any democratic possession. Assad can be forced by world community to yield more to democratic reform which would have served the purpose of majority of people in Syria but it would not be acceptable to certain strategist who has been thinking bigger than Syria . Seeing it's implication for Russia and especially Iran .
Even if rebel was successful in taking down Assad, Syria future's look dim. Most of the countries has certain issues in their backyard. It may be Pakistan's Baluchistan , Rohingyas's in Myanmaar, Naxal's in India, Shias in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia . High handiness of Pakistan troops in Baluchistan or Saudi troop in Bahrain for cracking democratic possession could not make to UN . If UN should not let itself be used as pawn to serve interest of Western countries .
