Very interesting analysis by Stratfor, this helps us understands what’s going on with Syria right now, particularly the geopolitics. By the way, the latest news is not good at all, unless you’re a big fan of the Syrian dictatorship (which I’m most certainly not):
Thousands of soldiers backed by tanks and snipers moved in before dawn to the city where Syria’s anti-government uprising began, causing panic in the streets when they opened fire indiscriminately on civilians and went house-to-house rounding up suspected protesters. At least 11 people were killed and 14 others lay in the streets – either dead or gravely wounded, witnesses said.
