Do you read the news? This has been going on for quite a while.

The "Arab spring" did not turn out quite as hoped.

You want me to condense the last the last six years of complex middle eastern history into a snappy few sentences!

Well heres what happened.

A few arab countries rose up against their dictators, some where overthrown others not so much.
The hope was that this would lead to a new dawn for democracy, but it left power vacuums which the religious extremist sought to fill.

And of course you have the US and the Russians fighting the usual proxy wars.

In short the whole region is just one big mess.

The people of Syria protested for a change of government.

The government clamped down and massacred thousands.

A peaceful movement turned into a civil war.

Every nation and his dog became involved and interfered.

Syria goes the way of Somalia.
Dying to live, living to die.

Honestly, pool - this is a civil war and a humanitarian nightmare that's been going on for at nearly seven years, and you're only now catching on that something 'is happening in Syria'?  Fuxxake, mate - crawl out from under your rock and switch on the news now and then.
