Here's a good Q @ A on Syria..

Syria: Questions about a chaotic, tormented land.

Quote:
But there are protests in lots of places. How did it all go so wrong in Syria?

There’s no single answer. Journalist Fareed Zakaria argues that what we’re seeing is in some ways the inevitable re-balancing of power along ethnic and religious lines. He compares it to the sectarian bloodbath in Iraq after the United States toppled Saddam Hussein, after which a long-oppressed majority retook power from, and violently punished, the former minority rulers.
