September 15 the U.S. state department called its citizens that are now in Syria to immediately leave the country.  Moreover, the department of state reminded that according to sanctions, imposed by the White House on Syria, citizens of the U.S. are restricted to make any financial operations with representatives of Syrian government. At the same time, Syrian rebels created a “National Council”. On the background of a large-scale crisis in the Middle East it looks like a preparation of the West for a new aggression.
But the problem is that the Syrian question is more complicated, due to its connection with Iran, Lebanon and Israel. In relation to Lebanon Damascus still can coordinate the actions of Hezbollah, but if the regime of Assad will fall, no one can predict the possible scenario.
The treaty of mutual defense with Iran is also still a limiting factor for supporters of immediate aggression. Israel is very uninterested in the destabilization of the situation on its borders, because they know from their experience, that the weapons, pouring to Syria, will be used against its citizens, what has already happened after events in Libya.
Meanwhile, according to some sources, the money and weapons for overthrow of the regime come from neighboring countries: Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. Witnesses say that by their own eyes they saw the volumes of Quran with 100$ bills embedded in it, and coffins for the dead, filled with ammunition.

Military and science specialists in the U.S. have permanently adapted their forces and departments to the new conditions. Starting from aggression in Vietnam and ending with subversive activities in Latin America, Washington investigated tactical and strategic mistakes and made corresponding conclusions. But it became possible to speak of transition to the new form of conflict only after the war in Persian Gulf in 1991, when the U.S. with the help of telecommunication technologies have shown to whole world its military capabilities. Herewith the strikes were made not only to military infrastructure of Iraq, but to critical sites – communication system and energy resources, civilian objects, and in parallel the propaganda campaign was held. The model, proposed by colonel John Warden, named “the war from inside to outside” and the theory of five strategic rings, proceeded theoretical and practical justification in the following conflicts, particularly, in Yugoslavia. Thus, due to efforts of admiral Owens, Johnson and vice-admiral Sibrovski, appeared the concept of net-centric warfare, that reflected those changes, that occurred in commercial and information environment of the U.S. Having logically assumed, that these changes will necessarily affect the military sphere, the Pentagon itself began to intensively adapt information systems, armaments, and the most important, intellectual personnel of new generation warfare. Parallel to this, workers of the RAND corp.

The US foreign policy usually develops in several ways which differ in terms of methods used to achieve this or that goal on the international scene. Right-wing Republicans, or neoconservatives, are known for promoting the most aggressive approaches in foreign policy: they see Russia, as well as some other countries, as the quintessence of evil. Many of them are members of radical protestant sects. There are two most prominent figures among them: the former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
Sarah Palin took a break in her political career after her oldest daughter Bristol had announced her pregnancy exactly during her mother`s election campaign of 2008. Since Palin had always been known for her traditional views on marriage and abortion, her daughter’s pregnancy could not but affect her ratings. But what is really worrying about Palin is her links to a fundamentalist eschatological, Pentecostal church which is outside of the mainstream of modern Christian denominations.
