Civilians do not have weapons ???
It depends. But those civilian Sunni Muslims and civilian tribal
groups have received weapons from Saudi Arabia, the USA and Western
power...and Army specialists from NATO and the USA are training these
civilians to use firearms and ..on war tactics. (Eg. in Egypt these
Western specialists were caught and charged in court).
Soon after the start of the uprising(18 months ago), these civilians
killed other civilians (supporters of the government) and..as
expected, western media blamed the killings on the government of
Syria.. to demonize the government...in order to effect an regime
change. Sectarian tribal units of the Army defected only not long
ago..so they were not the killers ,when the uprising started .
NO way...the people will not be allowed to sit on the side lines. They
will be killed in the civil wars between the Islamic groups, the
tribal groups ...and the government armies....(even after the the
regime is deposed..eg the Army top General was killed...the war
continue). The civil war will end ONLY if one of the Islamic
groups...either the Sunni or the Shia score a decisive victory.
If the Sunni won, a US proxy will be installed. If the Shia won, an
Islamic clergy will take over power.
