I consider myself a very knowledgable guy and I try to stay current with world news, but I have had an extremely hard time when it comes to what's going on in Syria. I have read some conflicting articles and I realize every news source has its bias. I just want to know what's really going on. Thank you in advance.
Answer
The current conflict in Syria has nothing to do with "freedom" or "democracy", it is driven entirely by the geopolitical aspirations of the United States and its middle eastern allies.
The US has wanted to overthrow the Syrian government for a long time, and not because of any "humanitarian" concerns, but because of Syria's opposition to American regional interests, its long-time hostility towards the apartheid state of Israel, its support for resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon, and its alliance with major geopolitical enemies of the US, such as Russia, China and Iran. By destroying Syria the US hopes to break apart the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis and get closer to establishing total hegemony in the middle east.
America's regional allies, namely the totalitarian Sunni monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are diametrically opposed to the Shia-led governments of Syria and Iran, and want to destroy them not only for political reasons but also to spread their own influence by exporting their brand of extreme religious ideology (wahhabism).
The US government has admittedly made plans decades ago to carry out regime change in Syria. In fact, it is documented that the US government has given money and weapons to sectarian anti-government terrorists in Syria and provided training to so-called Syrian "activists" BEFORE the start of the current "uprising".

The so-called "Free Syrian Army" are nothing but a collection of Sunni extremists and Islamist militants from all over the middle east hired to fight as a proxy army on behalf of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and to accomplish their geopolitical goals. The majority of the FSA are not Syrians; most come from Afghanistan, Chechnya, Libya, the Gulf states, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and elsewhere. Many of them are jihadists and terrorists directly linked to Al-Qaeda and other salafi terror groups, including Jabhat al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda in Syria) and the Muslim Brotherhood.
These terrorist groups, which later named themselves the "Free Syrian Army", are the ones who have been causing the violence in Syria since the very beginning. In April 2011 there was a peaceful protest movement calling for reforms within the government, but it was quickly hijacked by the FSA and turned into a violent insurgency. The FSA do not care about freedom, democracy or reforms. It was their goal from the beginning to hijack the legitimate Syrian opposition and start a civil war. They are terrorists motivated solely by sectarian hatred, and they have openly expressed their desire to establish an Islamic state in Syria.
For the past year and a half Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supplying them with money, weapons and fighters. In April 2011 journalists witnessed armed militants crossing into Syria across the Lebanese border. Every day Syrian security forces find foreign passports on dead FSA fighters as well as shipments of foreign equipment and advanced weaponry in FSA stockpiles.
In the first weeks of the "peaceful uprising", terrorists began murdering dozens of Syrian soldiers, mercenary snipers shot civilians and security forces in cities, armed men provoked violence by shooting at policemen from inside crowds, and Saudi-funded extremist preachers in Mosques incited uneducated Sunni youths to riot, burn police stations and commit sectarian violence, forcing the hand of the Syrian government into what the western media has called a "crackdown".
Since then the "Free Syrian Army" terrorists have killed at least 20,000 people, and have kidnapped and tortured thousands more. They are blowing up government buildings, sabotaging infrastructure, setting off car bombs in residential areas, destroying and terrorizing neighborhoods, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, destroying mosques and churches, committing massacres, murdering anyone whom they suspect of supporting the government, or anyone who has different beliefs than them (Alawites, Christians, Shiites and moderate Sunnis).

Most "news reports" about Syria shown on CNN/BBC/Al-Jazeera are stories and rumors that are taken directly from anonymous "activists" and Syrian opposition sources without any verification whatsoever. Most of the reports turn out to be completely false, and many times the sources aren't even Syrian.
For example, the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" quoted often in the media actually consists of one man in a London apartment

Is there any suggestions on what I can do while my husband is deployed to keep me from being sad all the time?
MrsPrice
My hubby is deployed to Qatar for a year he leaves Nov. 06 and won't be back until Nov. 07. I am a grad student and i have an internship but surprisingly I still have a lot of free time after I study and do my hw. I go and workout but I still have plenty of free time. I'm sad and depressed and he hasn't even left the country yet. I just don't know what to do. I don't have any friends here or anyone who understands and I am away from my family I'm all alone in grad school.
I'm also not anywhere near his base he is in the Reserves and the base he deployed from is in Utah. I'm in NY. I think the nearest base here is Fort Drum and that still is hours away.

An amazing number of people either answered this before you added that you were away from a post, or didn't read the whole thing.
It IS possible to get in contact with your husband's FRG via email. They can put you on a mailing list and will send you official updates on unit activities, etc. as they become available. They are the best source of news regarding your husband's deployment-if they do their jobs right. Have your husband check to find out who your FRG leader is. They may also be able to set you up with other wives in the unit for you to contact with personal deployment related issues. Even if it's not called the FRG in the reserves, they should have some form of family readiness group that can provide this sort of information.
The important thing is to stay busy and avoid news coverage. The news rarely reports what really happened, exaggerates what it wants, and downplays or excludes vital information that make the story true.
Easy for me to say? Yes and no. My husband is a month into deployment #2 in 3.5 years, and I don't have anything better to do like grad school or an internship.
You need to stay strong for his sake as much as your own sanity. Enjoy the time you have before he leaves. It's natural to worry, but he needs to see you be strong. If he leaves thinking you can't handle it on your end, it's going to distract him from his mission while he's deployed. I'm not trying to make you feel worse, but that's how it is.
Stay positive. Tell yourself you WILL get through it and he WILL come home. No, it's not always easy. But he has a job to concentrate on, and you have a life to lead regardless of his location. Surround yourself with positive people. Don't dwell on negative things. Don't hang around the phone either. Get out of the house. Got a cell phone? If not, get one. I even have a convenience pkg on my phone line for call forwarding when I'm away from the house so I don't miss a call. But the key point is to get out of the house.
It's true, you can't send too many emails or letters. I think they prefer letters because they can carry them along with them and look at them without having to stand in line at the phone center. Getting mail is like Christmas to deployed soldiers. But keep the sob stories to a minimum. He needs to know exactly 3 things: that you love him, that you're waiting for him, and that you're handling things just fine. It's okay to tell him if you have one particularly bad day, but don't do it in every letter/message. Always focus on the good, whether you're talking to him, your mother, or yourself. (The car died on the way to work but I won 20 bucks on a scratch-off lotto ticket while waiting for the tow.) Smile, being sad won't keep him home.
***Bottom line: You're strong, you're independent, you can handle this.***
And have a good long distance plan for calling home. :)
