It's difficult to say for certain, which is often the case in Civil wars such as this. Both sides, Qaddafi and the rebels, had their pros and cons. Qaddafi sent military troops to wipe out protesters, which is certainly something bad, but on the other hand, he did manage to keep the peace among the individual tribes and elders of Libya. The rebels, on the other hand, fought for democracy, and to oust a tyrant, which Qaddafi surely was. They do, however, have a daunting task ahead of them: rebuilding Libya.

I believe we'll need to wait and see how they do before we can truly classify them as 'good'. But, I suppose for the sake of the question, I would say that, compared to Qaddafi, yes, the rebels were good.

Is the Catholic Church supporting democracy or the rebels in Syria?

The Syrian Orthodox Church and most other Christians in Syria (including Catholics) feel that they are in an uncomfortable position. They may not be fond of President Assad, but he has allowed them to practice their faith. Some Christian leaders believe that the rebels are dominated by Islamic fundamentalists who will outlaw Christianity. Whether that is true or not, it is a common perception. Thus, most Christian leaders have been cautious about supporting the rebels; instead, they have tried to maintain a low profile and have supported President Assad because they know what to expect from him, while they do not know what to expect from the rebels. The above statement by my Syrian counterpart would be correct, the rebels have slaughter Christians in smaller numbers, the fear is clear, if they would take charge there would be many Christians killed by them.


Who is Syria going to war with?

Syria is currently in the midst of a civil war. The Syrian Government is opposing a variety of independent Rebel groups. Some of the Rebels are aligned with Al-Qaeda and some are pro-democratic. If the United States begins any strike on Syria (limited or not) it will be the first foreign opponent in the Syrian Civil War (aside from Rebel groups that have cross-border support with Iraq).


Who are the good guys and bad guys in the Syrian uprising?

They are all bad guys by western standards. The rebels are suni-muslims they could probably be considered radical-islamists. Bashar is also Muslim but he is a less extreme flavor of Islam. For instance, his wife does not wear a hijab. We in the west hear about all the bombings and artillery shellings that are killing children while we don't hear about the rebels pulling people out of their homes if they do not agree with them (all christians and Jews in Syria support the Monarchy). Bashar is a king and that in itself is bad but he does want peace among Syrians so he can take more money from them, the other guys want war just as Mohammad would.

Is Syria a poor country?

Syria has the 66th largest economy of any country (at US$59,330,000,000), which is not considered poor. However, Syria has the 114th largest GDP per capita (US$5,078), which is considered poor. As of external debt, Syria is only 13% in debt, one of the lowest in the world. However, as of public debt, Syria is in 30% debt, which is not necessarily bad, but not necessarily good (compared to other nations). Syria is a rich country, meaning the government, however, its citizens do not earn that much money.
