Syria

• unrest started with the Tunisian revolution reached Syria in mid-March 2011
• with children doing anti-government grafitti the government responded withheavy handed punishment
• the country did not respond well and an uproar began.
• in a dictatorship
• was going to do slight reform but decided to be harsher was better.*
• soilders started to go against the government with harsh attacks

The Syrian government upset the people of their contry as far as they could handle. They took harsh action against a harmless prank and the people took action back. They protested and got worse and worse. Then Al-Queada came out and made things worse. In terms of peoples reaction and outsiders opinions on them (made worse very negative stereotypes). I'm wondering why the government just wants to get harsher and harsher when obviously the people arnt responding well to that kind of treatment? TO THE PAST- dictatorships dont work. They never have and they never will. One person will never have enough insight to control/run an entire country by themselves.
