Learn more about the conflict in Syria. Learn why it is different from the “Arab Spring” and why it could repeat elsewhere

by Larry Geller

Think you know what’s going on in Syria?

The media at most try to figure out whether Assad or the rebels are winning at the moment. Are we sending arms to the rebels or not? Isn’t Assad our good buddy, to whom we sent “detainees” to be tortured in our “extraordinary rendition program?” Doesn’t the ongoing crisis demonstrate that the UN is, well, irrelevant? Why should we care, anyway?

Check out this comic for a totally different angle on the carnage in Syria.
