Syrian Lion, the protests you have shown, whilst violent, are not armed.
This is march 15th.
SYRIA: Capital see's pro-democracy protests March 15th - YouTube
Now a sensible Assad after having seen other dictators fall and Gaddafi getting a stick shoved up his back side before being murdered - would have said......"hmmm, this doesn't look good for me. I've had a good run...my family have had a good run in power. I will call elections with international observers and I will gamble that because I have all the campaigning apparatus already installed and more organised than any opposition...I might win the election and be legitimate."
But like most dictators, he's chosen to try and hold onto power. Any meaningful 'concessions' have been made once it's too late.
And now we have ourselves one almighty clusterf*ck. Excuse my language.

"The date is (March) 15 ... This is the first obvious uprising against the Syrian regime ... Alawite or Sunni, all kinds of Syrians, we want to bring down the regime".
