	Syria & Syrians - The Peace Encyclopedia
		Syria is a charter member of the list of "state sponsors of terrorism"--appearing on the first such list in 1979--and it has kept its spot on that list ever since.
		Assad is to exploit peace with Israel to cultivate among the American political elite an interest in the survival of his brutal dictatorship.
		Assad called in the heavy weapons; many of the old alleyways were too narrow for tanks and so whole districts were flattened by artillery rather than engage the Brotherhood in hand to hand fighting.

	Alawite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1939, a portion of northwest Syria, the Sanjak of Alexandretta, now Hatay, that contained a large number of Alawites, was given to Turkey by the French, greatly angering the Alawite community and Syrians in general.
		Under the dictatorial but secular Assad regime, religious minorities are tolerated, although during the Hama Massacre in 1982, perhaps 20,000 predominantly Sunnis were killed, after an uprising led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
		The Assad regime is careful to allow all of the religious sects a share of power and influence in the government, but there is clear Alawite domination of the highest levels of power.

	Bashar al-Assad - Voyager, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The al-Assad family are members of the minority muslim Alawite group, and members of that group have been prominent in the governmental hierarchy and army since 1963 when Baath first seized power.
		When the elder Assad died in 2000, Bashar was duly elected President unopposed with apparent massive popular support, after Syria's Majlis Al Shaa'b (Parliament) swiftly voted to lower the minimum age for candidates from 40 to 34.
		Assad opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, despite a long standing animosity between the Syrian and Iraqi regimes, using Syria's position holding one of the rotating seats on the United Nations Security Council.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Hafez al-Assad
		Hafez al-Assad (October 6, 1930 - June 10, 2000) was the President of Syria from 1971 to 2000.
		He did achieve some popularity because of his moderate reforms and the vast increase in Syria's military power, but was always mistrusted by the population for his secularism and his Alawite roots.
		During al-Assad's presidency, Syria played a major role in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and deployed troops as a peacekeeping force to Lebanon in 1976.

		The term is also used to describe the era during which that family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of the period, e.g.
		Yet he is not a male-line member of the royal family, and is therefore not a dynast of the House of Windsor.
		In many parts of Europe, the persistence of aristocratic families and their varying titles may serve to disguise some of the on-going influence of several political dynasties (as opposed to the royal dynasties which have provided monarchs).

	Syria
		Coastal Syria is a narrow plain, in back of which is a range of coastal mountains, and still farther inland a steppe area.
		In the summer of 2001, Syria withdrew nearly all of its 25,000 troops from Beirut.
		Syria responded by moving about 3,000 troops from the vicinity of Beirut to eastern Lebanon, a gesture viewed by many as merely cosmetic.

	I could be wrong....
		Rather, welfare cultivated a pathology-rich urban underclass ridden with crime, violence, family breakdown, substance abuse and (of course) grinding, seemingly inescapable poverty.
		In a country where hundreds of thousands of men had been killed in warfare, widows found themselves unable to work to provide basic necessities for their families.
		The complications are daunting--duty to a loving wife at home, a family of wealthy in-laws to be placated, job schedules to be juggled, and of course the whole problem of extreme social disapproval of their illicit passion.
