Is Syria Next?

Will Syria, the lapdog of Iran, the dark hand over Lebanon, the seeming bedrock of stability, be the next Arab regime to face a revolution? It appears so as violence now rocks the Syrian street. It is far from certain that the Syrian people will be able to muster sufficient force to overturn the long-term Assad family dictatorship which has an ugly history of using the most brutal methods of repression to hold power. And like the other Arab countries in tumult, one can only imagine what sort of government might emerge if Bashar Assad is replaced. One thing seems certain, if Assad, who has been an archenemy of Israel, is removed, the new government will be even more aggressive against the "Zionist Entity".
