Ben Ali fled, Mubarak is in jail, Gaddafi is killed, Assad … ?

Syrian protesters poured onto the streets yesterday, vowing that President Bashar al-Assad's regime will be the next to unravel after the death of the ousted Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi. Activists said around 14 protesters were killed when security forces opened fire. Although mass demonstrations have shaken one of the most authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, the Syrian opposition has made no major gains in recent months. It holds no territory and has no clear leadership. This has gone too far and if war is needed, then so be it. Nobody needs scumbags like Assad trying to bring their people down, and he should just step down before anyone else gets hurt.
