"I'm not a puppet. I wasn't made by the west to go to the western or any other country. I'm Syrian. I'm made in Syria. I have to stay in Syria and perish in Syria." - Bashar al-Assad, 2012 In early on 2011, a politics movement swept over the Arabic-speaking world that toppled despotic regimes and dictatorships. The politics activity, which became known as the "Arab Springtime", was popular in nature and made use of the Internet, particularly social networking websites, to remove dictators such as Muammar Qadaffi of Libya. Those dictators, who ruled their countries for decades, were not able to stem the tide of popular indignation against them, even though they attempted using pressure and propaganda in ways reminiscent of the Cold Warfare era. The occasions of the Arab Springtime have come to be overshadowed by the civil conflict in the Arabic-speaking nation of Syria, which includes been ruled throughout the 21st hundred years by Bashar al-Assad. Though he had not prepared on ruling Syria, several occasions conspired to make Bashar the successor of his dad, Hafez. Although West frequently appeared for indications that Bashar might be considered a reformer, due partly to his formerly popular European wife, Assad continued to be part of a critical alliance with Iran and the sub-state communities Hamas and Hezbollah. This made an influential bloc that has influenced events over the Middle East, and one which Israel and the Western have attempted to break over the past decade. A crisis which may have threatened to require either the United States, Russia, or both, has been resolved at least temporarily. However bigger issues related to Syria still remain.
