How Syria works

Found an awesome article that explains how the Syrian "security services" work.  To someone like me from Canada it makes no sense.

Those who wonder how come Syria hasn't fallen like Egypt, Tunisia and now Libya, this explains it. The army does not protect the Syrian people. The Syrian security forces are such that they specifically protect Assad and his party. Very nice from a dictator's point of view but crappy for democracy.

  1. There's nothing democratic about it. Militaries are supposed to protect citizens and help in time of need, not hinder them or kill them. :S
