TBH I doubt that.

To quote someone or other..

If you think there’s some sinister hidden force controlling world events, there isn’t, it’s more frightening than that, nobody has a clue what’s happening or what’s happening next.

I can well believe that. It's human nature to try and link events together.

Oh I don’t deny that big powers meddle in other’s affairs, but the laws of unintended consequences mean no one can control what happens.

So they're saying that Assad may have fled the country already. Where do we reckon he'll go, Russia, Iran? Or a hole in the ground like Gaddafi?

Trying to keep up with this - his family is rumoured to have gone to Russia without him, he'll probably wind up there with them eventually. Just now the rumour is he went to Iran. I'd be guessing that, a plane to Russia with him in would be noticed by the rebels and too much of an opportunity.
