Syria: the Weakest Link in the Shiite Crescent
Barbara Slavin will address the Naples Council on World Affairs on Monday, March 18th, 2013, at 3:45 and 7:30 pm at St. John the Evangelist’s Kiney Hall, 625 111th Avenue No. in North Naples.
Syria’s war has made her a liability rather than an asset to Iran, Hezbollah and militant Palestinian groups. Syria is now the “weakest link” in a Shiite-Muslim dominated crescent that runs from Iran through Iraq and Syria and into Lebanon. Faced with an enormous refugee flight from this war torn country, Turkey’s border is filled to overflow with refugee camps and Lebanon is seeing a daily influx of Syrians as well. Meanwhile, Russia’s “special relationship” with Assad continues to confound the West.
