Lebanon's Hariri says could share power with Hezbollah

Yes, but there are certain issues where people will always unite and the rulers too. Such as a confrontation with a hostile Israel or hostile Iran. But there are conflicting interests inside every country across the world so.

I think that a lot of positives will occur once the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be solved.

Yep, that is why you need a foreign enemy :D And that is why Iran is being demonized, so do you agree that its all about politics?
I will be very honest with you, **** Al-Assad I have no love for the guy, but what would your own government do had someone supported an armed rebellion against the establishment? You know very well that rulers in Saudi don't even tolerate a peaceful demonstration.

Always been? You mean for a few years decades ago? Since then it was never the superpower you are talking about.

It has the potential but it faces more problems than positives if you ask me. I don't see how the GCC can lose their leading position in the Arab world.

Egypt has all the potential and I wish them all the best but I don't see Egypt assuming any real superpower status in the foreseeable future. Too many problems. I mentioned the major ones already. Besides there will never be a superpower in the Arab world. Superpower as in USA being the dominate superpower in their region dwarfing everyone else.

But we have had the discussion 1000 times so I am not going to repeat myself, LOL. We disagree.

But it works both ways. Iran is doing the same.

Al-Asshead or the Child-Murderer as I like to call him obviously has lost every legitimacy and he was the one who started to massacre his own people. The Arab world could not look silently on nor the immediate neighbors or international community and thus started to support the Syrian opposition. Rightly so if you ask me and I think that history will be on our side.

The problem is that it has evolved into a full-scale civil and regional war where parties from both sides have hijacked the revolution somewhat but I am sure that Al-Asshead will fall ultimately. At worst Syria will be divided in 3 parts. The tiny Alawi area around Latakia and the tiny Kurdish area north of Hasakah. That might be a solution for the conflict.

But if he has totally lost his legitimacy all the guns in the world won't help him, the problem is that Qatar and Saudi started supporting Al-Nusra and other questionable groups, these groups in turn, pushed the FSA into sidelines and now Syrians have two options between bad (Al-Assad) and worst (Al-Qaeda affiliates). Had Syrians really wanted Al-Assad gone, Al-Assad would have gone long time ago. When Iranian revolution happened, Shah had the 3rd or 4th largest army in the world. Shah also Had support of majority of superpowers, but people wanted him gone (and stupid they were).

And believe me, had this happened in any country in the world, the result would be similar. Even in democracies.

KSA has always only supported the FSA. Still to this day. Qatar and apparently Turkey were the ones who supported Al-Nusra.

The Alawis are the ones that control most of the military and state apparatus while the majority of the Syrian Sunni Arabs always were impoverished outside of Damascus.

You forgot to mention all the Shia terrorist groups supported by Iran as well. Anyway the revolution has no doubt been hijacked by outsiders. But if you blame KSA you also have to blame Iran. So it works both ways.

But if we look past all this then I think that the Syrian opposition has the just cause and not a dictator and Child-Murderer like Al-Asshead.

Assad is one person dude. Even if he goes it will not make a diff. Syrian security apparatus still holds on to the power center (Damascus), and other regions. And is also gaining more ground elsewhere, in Aleppo for example.
Assad (the individual) is not that relevant.

But Al-Asshead is the living embodiment of Syrian Ba'athis and the whole system that has been in place in Syria for the past 40 years. Besides his regime is surviving due to generous support from Russia and Iran. Still he controls less than 50% of the country. But in civil wars it is not like one party triumphs everyone else. Especially not in the case of Syria where hundreds of interests, groups etc. are present.

Still it does not change the legitimacy of the Syrian opposition and their just cause if you ask me.

But which opposition? You cant speak of the "opposition" as a singular entity because there are hundreds of different groups and competing factions, with different goals.
And they are loosing more ground, especially with the infighting that is now raging in Aleppo and elsewhere.
