how will this war end, is it even possible to end?

in syria we have assad regime/hizabollah vs sunni extremists. and kurds also, who are fighting against assad and sunni extremists, and also the sunni extremists are fighting against each other (isis vs nusra, isis vs fsa, fsa vs nursa). its everybody against everybody. you have christians that want a bit land, you have shia, you have sunni you have kurds.....can syria ever be fixed? what group is the biggest problem? is it assad?

in iraq we have shia vs sunni vs kurds....all want a bit of land, and also turkmens, yazidi and christians. that land have been a mess a long time.

should all the sunni be gathered in one sunni-country, and the same with the shiite, christians etc?

btw, i hope you boys and girls understand know that the so called "good rebels" from syria was never good, they were islamists even in the beginning. same story in libya.

I think that's what is gong to happen. Without an Iron-fisted dictator like Saddam Hussein or Bashar al-Assad in control, what is there to hold together such fundamentally artificial countries as Syria and Iraq? The national boundaries were drawn for the convenience of the colonial powers, and are fading away.

Like Staremaster said-these are artificial countries coming apart at the seams.

Old Condalezza Rice's statement applies to now -more than to the time when she uttered the phrase-that "we maybe witnessing the birth pains of new Middle East".

The West went through upheavels on the road to modernization (starting with the French and American Revolutions- and culminating with the two World Wars). And east Asia went through a phase of upheavel ( culminating in Japanese Imperialism, and Maoism) before it settled into East Asia's current phase of peace and economic dynamism. Its now the Islamic world's turn to go through the upheavels of modernization. Alot more suffering is ahead. Not much any outsiders can do about it, but duck for cover.
