Zeb,
could anyone tell me what the whole stinking war is about? Is it the usual thing...oil?
It's regional instability due to factional infighting amongst different religious and ethnic factions. Each group wants independence from the central government or more representation in the established government. They've basically have been treated like sh!t by their government before the civil war. Same thing in Iraq where Sunnis have been fighting the Shiites allowing ISIS to sweep into their country. Yemen, with about six different factions fighting for independence, is another example.
Those nations in the Middle East are artificial contrivances due to the borders not representing the different nationalities and ethnic groups within them. The only solution is to go in there by force and create independent, sovereign nations whose citizens won't be fighting and persecuting each other.
