Is Syria turn into new "Afghanistan" of Cold War?

[somebozo]

Same bitterants new players!

Major Foe: Russia vs USA
Proxy Ground: Syria
Actual Fighters: Russian backed Syrian forces vs West backed FSA
Facilitator: Turkey (taking on the role of Pakistan in Afghan-Soviet war)
Financiers: Gulf Arab states!
Talibans: FSA and Allied groups.
A number of extremist groups now infiltrating Syria will provide the future shoulders of Al Quaida.
