		<description><![CDATA[To paraphrase J from &lt;a href=&quot;http://h2oreuse.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;the h2oreuse blog&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Regarding Syria, Assad&#039;s basic policy is to exile the Sunni population and transform the country into a Shi&#039;a stronghold. Several million Sunnis have already left the country, Assad is destroying Sunni monuments and mosques. The Alawi sect has thrown away its semi-Sunni camouflage and is openly, militantly Shi&#039;a. Aggressive efforts to convert Sunnis into Shiites are underway as well. The ethnic cleansing that Assad and his Shiite allies are performing is also a “religious” cleansing, aimed at permanently changing the nature of the country and consolidating the &quot;Shiite crescent&quot;. Palestinian refugees that left Syria are not allowed to return.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bashar coming out on top of it all, what a twist!]]></description>
