Dictator Muammar Gaddafi absolute ruler of collapse. Even the life of Libyan leader who had declared themselves antibarat hand was stretched out on his own people. Gaddafi was shot dead.
Bahrain and Syria are now also churns. Syria has been hit by a year of political and social crisis. Most of the people oppose and take up arms against the power of President Bashar al-Assad. The UN recorded 10 000 thousand people have died from violence in Syria. Hundreds of people are now displaced [read: Thousands Fleeing into Syria Turkey]. While approximately 150 thousand people were arrested and imprisoned by the authorities.
The threat of sanctions from countries included in the community almost ignored the Arab League President Assad. Similarly, given the pressure the West as if he considered that the Syrian authorities. Armed clashes and violence continue to occur and civilian casualties.

What really happened in Syria?
In a discussion of Syria by the Muslim Student Scientist Community Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta revealed that the culprit of the prolonged crisis in Syria could not be removed from the United States and Britain share.
According to S2 students study Middle East Studies program, Ahmad Jaelani, the U.S. and the UK have used the opposition to attempt to topple the Assad.
There must be economic and political interests behind the western pressure on President Assad and his support for the resistance of the demonstrators. This analysis is based on a historical review, when the British controlled Syria in the reign of President Shukri al Quwatli dolls (1943). The U.S. then began to interfere in the country in 1949 which led to a conflict of interest between Britain and the U.S. imperialistic. Several times a change of president in this country. Among other things, the overthrow by General Shukri al Quwatli Husni Zaim, March 30, 1949. Husni Zaim is known to have ties with the United States. Shortly after that, just five months later, Colonel Sammi al Hinnawi coup.
Repeated revolutions. Colonel Colonel Adib al Syisyakli subvert Sammi al Hinnawi, December 1949. In the reign of Adib al Syisyakli, Syria was united with Lebanon in 1950. Only four years in power, was overthrown by Colonel Adib British stooge with the support of Iraq.
Uncertain situation in Syria. Parliament is weak and not strong constitution. In the condition that the new figures appear Hafez al Assad in 1971. These figures supported the Baath Party and very influential in its development in the Middle East region. Hafez Assad ruled for 30 years. During his reign, the military is so powerful.
U.S. influence on Syria was just so great. Even after Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father, Hafez al-Assad became president (June 10, 2000), the U.S. remains the dominant influence. The opposition accused the government policy much more favorable self-Assad and his group. That then makes the people stirred up. The people of whom demanded the revocation of the Emergency Act 1963 is very circumscribed freedom of citizens and mass media.
When President Bashar al-Assad later revoke martial law in mid-April last [read: Syria Announces Revocation of Emergency Act], the people had already grown disillusioned and even demanded he resign. Widening people's resistance and anti-Assad groups continues to expand and spread throughout Syria. Syrian crisis and the world was getting too long exposed to the sap [read: Syria Back Tense, Oil Up Again].
United Nations intervene to help improve the situation in Syria. But President Assad did not seem to notice. Arab League working group was sent the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to help find a peaceful solution to the crisis in Syria, but has not been getting results. Violence continues to occur, the truce did not run and even violated [read: Annan Failed to persuade Assad Stop Violence].
Some countries within the EU community and even to suppress the threatened ban against Assad's wife, Asma al-Assad family and Syria who have dual nationality and the UK [read: Asma al-Assad and relatives Blocked Login Europe]. That, too, still no results.
Conflict in Syria, according to the book A Peace to End All Peace written by David Fromkin, could not be separated from the root of the problem ribetnya problems in the Middle East. Namely in relation to the former division of the Ottoman Empire or the Ottoman Turks after World War I.
Most countries in the Middle East to the Western alliance. While Syria is more likely to Russia. When Syria hit by violent internal conflict, Western countries started to go through the 'anti-violence' which is very relevant to the actual condition of the people. The government attempted to curb the insurgency by military force. The people and the opposition against and even directly opposed to President Assad [read: Opposition Rejects Call for Dialogue President Assad].
International concern incorporated in the "Friends Syria" who raised the U.S. managed to gather 60 countries to support a ceasefire in Syria. The meeting that was held last February in Tunisia was agreed to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Syria who was hit by the conflict.
This solidarity action, April 1, then follow up the Annan meeting with Assad was held in Istanbul, Turkey. One result of the meeting attended by representatives of 71 countries is increasing pressure on the regime of Bashar al-Assad and end the oppression of the Syrians.
We'll see what will happen next in Syria. How long the fire of violence will continue? (* From various sources)
