| #15 twobyfour, my comment wasn't referring to petroleum products at all but your observations are still most welcome. Assad is living proof regarding how very abundant natural gas is in the Arab world. |

| #14 TW, cold showers. ;-) Zen, Syria is bit shortchanged on "vast quantities of natural gas and that doesn't even begin to include their petroleum reserves". However, spending billions on purchses of Russian Potemkian weaponry does not apparently leave much for improving infrastrucure. |

| #13 But how are they to take showers if there's no electricity to heat the water Please recall how the Arabs are famous for producing vast quantities of natural gas and that doesn't even begin to include their petroleum reserves. |

| #10 My guess is inshallah maintenance, lack of infrastructure investment and corruption. From the article, it sounds like the Syrians are revolting. (if that's not a slow hanging curve ball...don't say I never gave you nothing!) |
