Det syder og bobler i den mellemøstlige heksekedel, hvor befolkningerne
ønsker systemskifte, mens diverse diktatorer klamrer sig til magten med alle
midler.

Én af dem er Syriens Assad, der støttes af de iranske (shia) ayatollah'er.

Flertallet af syrerne ønsker ham hen hvor peberet gror, og de bakkes op af
USA samt (sunni) Saudia.

"Iranian intelligence experts in Damascus have been disrupting the Syrian
opposition movement's telephone and Internet links with the outside world
and among fellow-protesters in the country.

To bridge the communications gap, the US and Saudi Arabia have in the last
two weeks smuggled thousands of satellite phones into Syria and put them in
the hands of opposition leaders.

The new phones will also overcome the latest Syrian steps, also on the
advice of their Iranian advisers, to slow down the speed of the Internet to
impede the transmission of images - most of all live video"

Og ikke nok med det:

"The Saudis have gone still further: On July 19, a new television station
"Shabab Syria" (Syrian Youth), financed by Riyadh, went on the air and began
broadcasting anti-Assad opposition's messages to all parts of the country":

Dermed er der lagt op til direkte konfrontation mellem det vestligt støttede
Saudia, og klassens uartige dreng Iran.
