@Ma_Mooli

Lets make this clear; Assad is not a sectarian person… He is a Secularist baaathist. His army constitutes people of all background, not just alawites or shias. So this was never a shia vs sunni thing for him. It was the al qaeda types that took over and turned into a sectarian warfare…With the help of saudi & qatar.

do you think the fact that hezbollah is shia is merely coincidental and unrelated to its decision to support assad? how about the iranian state?

the naked sectarianism on display in this conflict is two-sided. whether assad is personally secular or whether the rebels are more sectarian are largely irrelevant points.
