The Free Syrian Army says it has 22 “battalions” across the country, with field leaders taking orders from a central command in Turkey.
These include the Khalid bin Walid battalion in Homs, where clashes with loyalist forces have been fiercest.
In the past few weeks, fighting has also broken out in Idlib, in the north-west, and al-Bukamal, on the border with Iraq.

The political arm of the revolution (Syrian National Council, SNC) was formed in Istanbul.

Political and military arm are based in Turkey, and the military wing's command commands out of a camp under protection of Turkish Army on Syrian-Turkish border.
It seems full scale regime-change is about to begin in Syria in near future and we'll help the Syrian people break away from their regional isolation and have the relationship with Turkey they deserve.

If the peoples of the Middle East continue on their present path, the suicide bomber may become a metaphor for the whole region, and there will be no escape from a downward spiral of hate and spite, rage and self-pity, poverty and oppression.

Ivy League Cornell University Partners With Israel's Technion University To Create Genius School

The city's "genius school" competition heated up Tuesday when Cornell revealed it's teaming with Israel's Technion university on a proposal for an applied-sciences campus.

Technion - Israel Institute of Technology is a globally ranked research university based in Haifa. Half the Israel companies on the NASDAQ are headed by Technion alumni. "The Technion is the driving force behind the miracle of Israel's technology economy," Cornell President David Skorton said in a statement.

Investor's Business Daily: How Free Israel Prospers As Islam Remains In The Dark

Israel, a New Jersey-sized nation of 7.5 million people (1.7 million of whom are Arab) filed 7,082 international patents in the five years ending in 2007. By contrast, 28 majority-Muslim nations with almost 1.2 billion people — 155 times the population of Israel — were granted 2,071 patents in the same period. Narrowing the comparison to the 17 Muslim nations of the Middle East from Morocco to Iran and down the Arabian Peninsula, the 409 million people in that region generated 680 patents in five years.
This means that the Arab and Iranian world produced about one patent per year for every 3 million people, compared with Israel's output of one annual patent for every 5,295 people, an Israeli rate some 568 times that of Israel's neighbors and sometime enemies.

The awarding of Nobel Prizes in the quantitative areas of chemistry, economics and physics shows a similar disparity, with five Israeli winners compared with one French Algerian (a Jew who earned the prize for work done in France) and an Egyptian-American (for work done at Caltech in California).

But wealth isn't the sole explanation for this disparity in intellectual innovation. Saudi Arabia enjoyed a per capita income of $24,200 in 2010. Yet the Kingdom averages an anemic 37 patents per year compared with Israel's 1,416 per year — and there are 3 1/2 times more Saudis than Israelis, meaning that Israel's per capita output of intellectual property is 132 times greater than Saudi Arabia's.

The telltale signs of Israel's economic rise can be seen in the Tel Aviv skyline and the new office complexes around Jerusalem. International giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. was founded in 1901 by three pharmacists in Jerusalem. Today it employs 40,000 around the world. Teva has a market cap of $44.2 billion — the most highly valued company based in Israel and the ninth-largest firm traded on the Nasdaq

A few miles from Teva's gleaming office campus west of the Old City sits the former national mint building for the British Mandate. Built in 1937, this renovated building, along with the old Ottoman Empire railway warehouses next to it, houses the JVP Media Quarter and 300 entrepreneurs.

The complex hosts Israel's leading venture capital firm, Jerusalem Venture Partners, as well as 35 startups and a performing arts center for good measure. JVP, which has helped launch 70 companies since 1993, has more than $820 million under management with seven active venture capital funds.

The Media Quarter concept was created in 2002 when JVP founder Erel Margalit wanted to create a media-focused incubator that combined technology, culture, art and business. JVP has shepherded 18 initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, including some of the largest Israel-based companies: Qlik Technologies, Netro Corp., Chromatis Networks, Precise Software, Cogent Communications.

Less than 300 miles separate the purposeful creative buzz in the JVP Media Quarter from the restive streets of Cairo, where the Muslim Brotherhood tells Egypt's unemployed that their plight is the fault of corrupt capitalists and Jews. It doesn't take a Nobel Prize-winning economist to figure out where these two economies are going.

Israel Trumps The Arab World

DOHA: There is no doubt that Israel is superior to all Arab countries in the sphere of Information Technology, a comparative study between Arab nations and Israel on ‘Scientific Research and Patent Rights Compared’ conducted by Dr Khalid Said Rubaia, a Palestinian researcher at American Arab University in Palestine, says.

Israel spends 4.7 percent of its total GDP on scientific research, which is the highest in the world. However, Arab states are spending 0.2 percent of their total incomes and Asian Arab countries around 0.5 percent of their incomes on research, said
the report.

Regarding patent rights, Israel has registered 16,805 patents. However, Arab countries have only 836 patents which is 5 percent of what Israel has.

Israel spends 0.8-1 percent of the total expenditure of the world on research work and Arab states spend 0.4 percent. It means Israel spends more than double that spent by Arab countries in
this field.

Israel spends 4.7 percent of its income on research. However, Arab countries spend 0.2 percent of their total income on the same. United States spends about 2.7 percent of its income, UK 1.8 and Germany 2.6 percent on research work.

Asian Arab countries spend less than 0.1 percent of their total income on research work which is five times less than African countries which are spending 0.5 percent of their total income, according to a Unesco report. Arab countries spend about half of Israel though their GDP soared 11 times that of Israel and the area is more than 649 times.

Regarding per capita expenditure on scientific research, Israel stands at the number one position by spending $1272.8 per capita. United States ranks second with $1205.9 and Japan third by spending $1153.3. However, the Arab countries ranked hundred times less than Israel by spending an average of $14.7 annually per capita.

And the oil rich Asian Arab countries spend $11.9 per capita which is equal to African poor countries whose per capita expenditure reached $9.4.

Turkey seems to be the WEST's best hope for finding a Moslem nation that we can deal with --one that gives us some hope of dealing with more Islamo-centric nations.

Turkey is a member of NATO and if it had a better record on treatment of minorities, it would have a good shot at EU membership (although, I'm sure it's re-thinking its desire to be in the EU at the moment). However, Turkey has always been the gateway to the Orient for the West. The Ottomans were part of the Westphalian system.

As a go-between for negotiations with Iran, they're probably a better player than those we've been using--the U.A.E., Qatar, etc. Those tiny Gulf states certainly have the proximity and incentives to be messenger states, but they don't have the size and power to provide any coercion on their own.

As for allies in the Muslim world, Jordan is still pretty comfortably in the U.S. camp. So is Saudi Arabia (although, the Saudis need to liberalize in order to stave off popular pressure). Most of the Gulf Prince states are the same. I also expect Egypt will stay at least more pro-U.S. than anti-U.S. in terms of policy in order to keep that flow of aid coming. Libya is a giant questionmark because it obviously has a lot of pro-U.S. sentiments, but a lot of al Qaeda ties. Iraq is the same if you replace al Qaeda with Iran.

Iranian System has backing of majority of its people.

Does it? An "Islamic Republic" had majority support when it was created, but that doesn't mean people wanted the current form. Since then, the "Islamic" had gained more power and the "Republic" has lost it. I mean, when you have leaders like Rafsanjani assassinating Iranians overseas and Ahmadinejad brutally oppressing domestic voices.

Even the "Islamic" part of the Islamic Republic has so little credibility. Khamenei is the spiritual guardian of Shi'a Islam?!?! The guy was only promoted to Ayatollah as a political move. It's no wonder that the urbane young people of Iran are losing their religion. The Islamic Republic has been a disaster compared to what a true democracy would have brought.

(I will give the administration credit for getting the population explosion under control, however).

Despite sanctions and opposition to Iran, Iran has achieved remarkable progress and maximized its influence and status in the Persian Gulf.
It successfully resisted the USA for 30 years, is shooting animals into space and NATO is building a missile-shield against it.

These are positives? The average Iranian has suffered at the expense of the regime. Control of the economy has gone from the business leaders to the IRGC, not to the people.
Rafsanjani once said that the Bazaar is always open in Iran. Now, I doubt that is true. Economic interests and the interests of the average Iranian has been sacrificed for the anti-Americanism.

Why shouldn't the Iranians be confident and proud of their leadership? They follow a strong independent path, maximizing Iranian power and influence.
Iran is a middle-power and its power is going to rise no matter what Israelis think.

Well, at least I agree with that.
