This map proves that the conflict in Syria is not a popular uprising but an attempted overthrow by outside parties.

Historically in the French, Russian, and American revolutions, popular uprisings start in the core of the nation, in the big cities. The millions of Egyptians in Tahrir square have no parallel in Damascus. As the "activity map" shows, the so-called Free Syria army are infiltrating from outside Syria, along the paths indicated by the blue arrows.
