Syria Getting Hotter

The recent conclusion of the U.S. and Israel that al-Assad's Syria has finally used chemical weapons has resulted in the U.S. making commitments to send small arms to select rebel factions and groups.

Such event will certainly up the ante between the U.S. and its allies on one side and Russia and Iran on the other, a recipe that could drag the entire middle east into a prolonged overt and covert war that could last a few more years, even if the current Syrian regime actually collapses.

The brewing turmoil in the Middle East will not only affect world dynamics, it will also inflame simmering tensions already existing in various middle eastern countries. War is on the horizon then for quite a long time, a scenario that is always open to many horrifying possibilities, possibilities the world may not quite handle well.
