What the Syrian "revolution" has done

"The uprisings of the Arab Spring have so far produced anarchy in Libya, a civil war in Syria, greater autocracy in Bahrain and resumed dictatorial rule in Egypt. In Syria, the uprising began in March 2011 with demonstrations against the brutality of Assad's regime. 'Peace! Peace!' protesters chanted. But 'if there was a fair election in Syria today,' one commentator said, 'Assad would probably win it.' " I hope not. (thanks Amir)
