Iraq was also "stable" under Saddam until Kuwait. Libya was very stable under Gadaffi too.
Why do we westerners think we can make a difference?
Syria is the way ahead: Let them get on with it and wipe eachother out. Saves us time, effort and loads of money to pour back into the debt ridden democracies we live in.
All these 'well wishers' suggesting we "help these and aid those". Not a whisker of a difference comes from it except the loss of life and destruction brought on by western societies on eastern life styles.
Well wish for something constructive will you? Wish for literacy and poverty levels to stabilise and reverse; for young people to get a foothold in society, for debt to be eradicated in OUR OWN WORLD!
I pray and hope that remote and clinical warfare takes over - sooner than later and the politicians can "work from Home" by destroying who the hell they like from the comfort of their own laptops!
