Hypothetical scenario with Assad losing the uprising.

Syria is an attractive target on multiple levels:

1) Secularism
2) Baath Ideology
3) Heterodox Sh'ia (Alawi)

Of course.  The bearded men will slaughter when these terrible revolutions succeed.  And George W. Bush is to blame for toppling Saddam.

Your use of the word "pogrom" to describe something other than the unique suffering of the Jewish people has been noted for its anti-semitism.

WTF ? The word porgrom has never meant "anti-semitic massacre".

Unless someone non-sarcastically makes remakrs like that, it's basically a strawman.
