Syrian rebel backed uprising
will splinter into fractions
an imposed Western-backed?

initiative will become
increasingly unpopular
situation will demand?

usual political
quick fix band-aids...
scared minorities

Alawites
Christians
Druze Kurds

in Syria
will support
the devil

they know
before feared majority
Sunni Muslims?

will an imposed
Western-backed
initiative work?

US imposed
solutions have not
well worked

before or lately
in Afghanistan
problem Pakistan?

are not about
to in Russia's
historic decades

long Syrian
playground?
Burma now enters

heightened

tensions?

Unlike Egypt
which wants
a peaceful

reestablishment
of a status quo
tourist dollars

flowing back in
meaning a moderate
Muslim Brotherhood?
