Islamic Revival

By Abu Anas The United States has setup its   contingency plan  f or invading Syria if the regime collapses or nears collapse. The most cost effective plan for the US is managing to influence the rebels and establish an acceptable opposition leadership that will serve its interests and continue to be a loyal regime in the post-Assad era. This will continue to be the first  option for the US in dealing with the Syrian revolution  and m anaging its outcomes. The outcome for this Syrian conflict can be one of three results, summarized as follows: (a) the regime crushing the revolution, (b) the crisis deteriorating into an all-out civil war that spans years or (c) the rebels reaching their "goals" including the removal of the Assad family from power.

The revolutions of the so-called 'Arab Spring' broke out in order to change rulers and regimes. From the outset, their main demand was clear and unambiguous. It was that which we heard in the chant: 'The people want to overthrow the regime.' What happened in the revolutions of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen is that a ruler was either ejected from his post or killed. Yet the ruling system continued on the same design since colonial times: democratic, civil and secular - similar to the ruling systems in the West. All that has changed are some faces and some forms of nomination, appointment or election. So the joy that came with those blessed revolutions vanished when these revolutions derailed and accepted the Western pr
