Syria

Also known as the Syrian Uprising is an ongoing armed conflict taking place in Syria. The unrest began in the early spring of 2011 within the context of Arab Spring protests, with nationwide protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government, whose forces responded with violent crackdowns.

There used to be a Jewish population of 30,000-35,000 Jews in 1940, but there are currently no Jews in Syria aside from incidental foreigners.

The overwhelming majority of Syrian Jews fled Syria in 1950 to come to Israel, France, or the United States.

Syria is roughly 80% Sunni. There are some Shiites, primarily Ismailis, but most of the remaining 20% is made of other religious groups like the ruling Alawites, Druze, and Christians. (Alawites and Druze are sometimes considered to be forms of Shiite Islam and sometimes -- properly -- considered to be Post-Islamic Religions that jumped off from Shiite Islam.)

The Iraq war was started in March 20, 2003 (Operation Iraqi Freedom). It was started because George W. Bush sent in troops to Iraq. He said that there are, " Weapons of mass destruction", but truly we are there just for oil. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq just a whole lot of oil. So lets all thank the president now.

Ethnic rivalries in Syria and Iraq were kept in check primarily through the use of REPRESSIVE GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. The leaders of Syria (Hafez al-Assad and his son Bashar al-Assad) and the leader of Iraq (Saddam Hussein), routinely massacred any who opposed their authoritarian rule and effectively kept the peace between the clans/tribes/groups by promising to bring the full force of the army down on any clan/tribe/group that promoted violence against another group.

With the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the Syrian Civil War in 2011, these ethnic rivalries were able to resume since the national government was no longer capable of promising intense repression and violence against those who promote violence within the country.

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.

NO. Istanbul is hundreds of kilometers away from Syria and it is extremely unlikely that any spillover from the Syrian Civil War will reach one-tenth of the distance towards Istanbul.

Obama never ordered Putin to send troops to Syria, so this is non-issue. However, if he did so, it would be unwise since Putin would buttress the Assad Regime against the US interest in supporting the Free Syrian Army.
