It seems straightforward that, as with other Arab countries recently, a large segment of the population of Syria is fed up with the constricting regime of Assad and has risen up. In response, Assad has unleashed his forces as did Gadaffi etc. Something must be fundamentally wrong in a country, for such an uprising to occur surely.
But why, in a military state would you need to shell domestic housing, to send in tanks? Possibly because not enough of the Army can be trusted to support the regime, with a boots on the ground approach to searching out 'rebels'. This all seems reasonable analysis. But it doesn't come from the media. All the BBC do, is place a reporter in harms way, who shows film of rocket attacks and says it is the military, but he can't substantiate it nor understand it so could have stayed at home and filed the report from his bedroom.
Seriously, these are important events and we cannot learn anything about them because our media is so weak. Reporting these days is just so inept, usually taking down what they are told and repeating it (particularly so with politics) but with added political spin supporting the orthodoxy of the organisation, such as the unerringly left leaning opinions of the BBC.
