My Comment: What's my prediction ..... 2013 will be the year that Syria's bloody civil war will escalate to truly horrific levels .... with probably a doubling in the casualties (70,000 reported killed so far) by the end of 2013. Syria's civil war will also spread to Lebanon as this post so clearly reveals why.
