What is it?

Many people have often asked me questions about the issue in Syria, but the thing that annoys me most is when people refer to it is "The Syrian Civil War". A Civil War is based around the idea that there are two parties that are citizens of the country, the reason Syria is not a Civil War is because the fighters inside of Syria have come from neighbouring countries such as Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Another reason Syria is not a Civil War is because the majority are with the government forces, this basically means that only a minority are with the rebels meaning they have no reason to be the opposition because when you an  have opposition you have two majority's not one minority and one majority, it means more people want Bashar Al-Assad. So what do I call the situation in Syria? I call it a proxy war funded by N.A.T.O, a war to destabilise Syria for oil from both Syria and Iran. I also call it proof that the Syrian people are better and prouder than they thought because they are still holding on, they will never give up. So if someone asks you what is going on in Syria, you know what to say.
