Inside Syria's Civil War was a 60 minutes special that aired last night. Much like the Frontline special on the Syrian conflict, it is quite moving. There are many heroes in this film, but two will stand out. Ordinary people standing up in times of extraordinary challenges. It also explains why more and more rebels are turning to the Islamists. Assad's brutality seems to know no limits, so it is becoming harder to imagine a negotiated settlement with the level of hatred that has emerged. His behavior will likely result in a terrible response against the Alawites and other minorities in Syria.
