The Middle East war, who is heating it up?

Seriously what is going on there, if they are really ordered to kill civilians can they even call them serfs Muslims? every time I turn on news now its either Yemin, Libya, Syria, Palestine...etc, crazy world we are all in.....hew


Plus who is heating this up? Why are there even protests?

I know it's Wikipedia, but it gives some pretty good background information on how this whole "Arab spring" movement started.
