Where the Hell is Syria and Why Are They Fighting?

Syria is having a little dispute within the country.  It seems that the existing government used chemicals to get their point across to the people; and this has left the world a little upset.

This report is for twelve year olds and adults who have so much "other stuff" to worry about that they are having a hard time coping with another Iraq situation.  Plus its just fun to wake up and act like a "real reporter!"  Promise I won't be doing this too often, it takes work to gather the facts, than write the facts, than try to be fair to all sides!  Way too much work.  I'll just stick to taxes and wait for Congress to vote on some new tax laws and let you know how those laws will affect you.

But on the Syria thing, it appears that the people want what we take for granted, (freedom) and their president, Syrian President Bashar Assad wants what he wants. Egypt and Iraq all over again, except this time, chemicals are involved according to reports from the UN who actually went to Syria and investigated the situation.
