#4 Sunni Arabs are a majority at 60% of the population. However, everyone in Syria knows that Sunni Arabs are tyrannical rulers and intolerant religious zealots. Unless NATO provides air support for the rebels, I don't see how 60% prevails over the 40% that has tanks, howitzers and an air force. Assad may solve his demographic problem the traditional Middle Eastern way, by driving millions of whatever recalcitrant populations exist from his country.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
