Quote from CaptainObvious:
It's already a regional conflict. The Pakistani Taliban and other al Qaeda types are already in and fighting along side the rebels. Iran backs them all. Pakistan backs them all. The Russians provide support. Who knows what the Chinese are up to. All this and Assad ain't backing up. He gets hit, he will hit back and won't much care who gets in the way. We're going to war, another war same as the other war we're fighting, only me thinks the body count region wide is going to get quite high before it's over.
100,00 dead is already enough to make your comment true, captainobvious.
