2. this will be the post war ecconomy killer

You can lift sanctions and give money to rebuild the physical damage but the economic damage goes beyond that. Millions of people have lost everything they own. Small businesses cannot just pick up where they left off before the war, big business thats relocated once wont want to pack up for a second time so they can return to Syria. How many of the dead or refugees were once employers or professionals?
3. where ever they dominate 100%........
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (02.27.14)
Where ever Arabs or Muslims dominate 100% or majority rule and without the Kafir (so their Koran branded others) they are hopeless. Pakistan live on China and America, Somali live on the UN and piracy, Afghanistan have the EU and America, Malaysia have the Chinese descendents, Saudi have the American, Iran have the Russian and China and Indonesia breeds poverty through the sin of corruption. The only Asian fail state is N Korea and they are the darling to each others Islamic Iran. If the oil dries up the worse is yet to come. Look at how they killed the innocent Christians in Syria just because they are only Christians? How can they have their stomach fill? I think God allow Assad to rule on because they did not killed innocent Christians. (end)
4. #2 A Marshall Plan?
David V. ,   Sydney   (02.27.14)
Once Assad is defeated, Arab states can proceed with a Marshall Plan to rebuuild Syria. There is plenty of entrepreneurial spirit in the region, that can flourish without the restraint of a fascistic state like Assad.

You think the arab states care so much about the Syrians that they will want to invest billions into funding a Syrian marshal plan? They will expect the US & Europe to do the dirty work. If fighting stopped today its expected that it would cost about $100 billion just to rebuild infrastructure and take about 20 years to do it and of course the longer the fighting goes on the more extensive it gets. You also cannot bring back the dead, a large percentage of the refugees won't want to come back. You cannot rebuild small family businesses
