Fox Fire Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Most of the Civil War in Syria can actually be put down to Assad's own mistakes. Trying to convert the economy from a socialist-style Baathist economy with state-ownership and subsidies for the poor/rural people to a market capitalist system, the result being that the rural people lost hope and were ripe for recruitment by Islamist propaganda. And also of course allowing the Islamists in Iraq to use Syria as a base during their insurgency against the Americans, result being that the Islamists were allowed free reign to recruit and spread propaganda in Syria's countryside. Of course much of the blame goes to the Saudis, Qataris, Turks for supporting the rebels, but the uprising would probably have never even occurred if not for Assad's attempt at liberalization and bringing the country into the imperialist world system of capital (similar situation with Gaddadi and Libya). His father Hafez suffered an Islamist uprising centered on Homs and he crushed it very quickly. 1. Years of western produced anti-government propaganda being funneled into Syria. 2. The invasion of Iraq. 3. Drought.
