They USED to fight over water, women, money, status and power. NOW they just fight over women, money, status and power.
The basic difference is that now the KSA, once one of God's poorest countries, filled with the poorest Bedouin tribes, has the God-given gift of being on top of VAST amounts of petroleum and natural gas...which is ESSENTIAL for us in the West.
God's irony.
It might be time to rethink what there is to be gained in Syria and lost in the besieged cities of the West.
Just why in the hell are we destroying the ME?

Are you on this ping list? You probably are, but if not, you need to be. This para stuck out for me:
Moscow has around 2 million Muslims. London has over 1 million. Both sides are at risk of losing their own capital cities to real invasions. The EU and Putins Eurasian dreams are both built on the Roman notion that the barbarians can be integrated and will make good foot soldiers and laborers.
A difference is if Assad an Alawite, stays in power, it is a better outcome for the Christians, as the Alawite Govt. has protected minorities in Syria.
If the Alawites are deposed by the Shiites or Sunnis the Christians and other minorities will be mistreated.
Spare me the Alawites are Shiites stuff.
If you look at the Alawite religion, they are at best Muslim heretics and will be punished by the Sunnis and Shiites.
Minorities in Syria should hope the Alawites (Assad) stay in charge. -Tom
