What's going there? What's this about chemical weapons used on civilians? Why am I hearing rumors that there may be a U.S. strike on Syria?
If you want to better understand the civil war that is raging on in this Middle Eastern country, here are three resources that endeavor to give you a quick primer on the country and the escalation of its internal conflict:
- A profile and overview on on Syria from the BBC
- "10 simple points to help you understand the Syria conflict" from News.com.au, Australia's primary online news source
- "9 questions about Syria you were too embarrassed to ask" from the Washington Post
For some history, background and other stories on Syria and its people, come into the library and check out these books and DVDs:
