1. Isa(As) will arrive in syria
2. it will be the area where al-malhama takes place

Stay out, America!

Unfortunately, it's way too late for this. America doesn't like to talk about it, but we've been poking around in Syria for decades. Most people agree that our goal was to install a government that would be sympathetic to Israel. What many people don't know (or don't like to acknowledge) is that in the 60's, the Unites States was a supporter of the Baath party. Guess who the CIA considered an "asset" at the time? Saddam Hussein! America is much more responsible for what is happening in Syria than we like to admit.

This so sounds like what happened in Afghanistan during the cold war.

You nailed it, GuestFellow. Back then, the CIA was providing weapons, funding, and training to the Mujahideen (sp?). When they were fighting the Soviets, they were "freedom fighters." Fast forward a couple decades, when they are fighting America, and they suddenly become "terrorists."

America is your best friend when you are doing what we want. But the moment you start thinking for yourself.....

I think these groups will be influenced to fight Russia and China...

I don't mean to take over this thread, but I want to add one more thing.

I think that we would all be wise to keep a close eye on American involvement in southeast asia. We are quietly building our presence in that part of the world, likely because it is just not possible to ignore China's status as a superpower. I think that we will see much of the two-faced behavior that we displayed in the mideast repeated in southeast asia. There are already hints of this. In the past couple of years the US has opened it's arms to Myanmar, just as Myanmar is becoming increasingly genocidal towards Muslims. I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge of this is quite limited, but I have a bad feeling that in 10-15 years we will be having the same conversations about America fighting in (against?) the Muslim world.

The Syrian civil war was received major international attention, and both the Syrian government and the opposition were received support from foreign powers.
