This is an incredible inside look at the current state of things inside the Islamic republic of Syria. Footage ranges from the appalling to the absolutely surreal and highlights the complexity of the situation there. Assad rules with an iron fist but he also believes he is defending the nation from a foreign, Saudi-funded and US-backed insurgency. Some of the Syrians interviewed in the piece talk of there being no alternative to Assad and suggest life was better before opposition escalated. I am no expert on Syrian history but one gets the impression that a strongman like Assad might be a better alternative, similar to Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Hope you find the time to watch this video and maybe have deeper discussion on this



The Rise of Isis is another good one too.

Note: It only took 5yrs to completely destroy a fully functioning country.
It had taken 500yrs to build Syria.
