I haven't been reading all that much about this conflict because there is nothing much we can do about it but watch. But I am curious about something. I knew Col. Q was doomed in Libya when I saw the type of people many who were opposing him were, doctors, small business men, grad students coming back from abroad, middle aged family men-guys who had a lot to live for and chose to risk it. Very high quality guys. Col Q's forces couldn't stand against that.
Does anybody know offhand if the same type of people are opposing Assad? Or is this thing more along sectarian lines? I think the type of people composing the rebel forces is important to evaluating them and I wonder about it.
