Either lying or a moron.
The Syrian opposition is very Iran friendly, Islamic, Muslim brotherhood types looking to overthrow a secular Nationalist government.
It would give Iran MORE power, not less, and open up yet another front for Islamic jihad.
You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. The Assads have been joined at the hip with Iran since 1979. The Syrian opposition is Sunni and hates Iran with a passion. The Syrian situation is Sunni vs Shiite. The Assads are from the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiism. We should stay out of this one, and let the bloodbath inflame the Sunni world against Iran, Hezbollah, Russia, and China. A win win for us.
I believe all ME revolutions, in our lifetime, will result in empowering Jihad. Sunni and Shiite are joined at the hip as soon as they have a non-Moslem to focus upon. Eg., USA and Israel are the primary targets(enemies) of Jihad.
I agree. The Muslim Brotherhood will be happy to take Iranian money and arms to fight Israel.
Iran helped Al Qaeda too - the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
