How Syria's Revolt Went Wrong

Guest: Liz Sly, Beirut Bureau Chief for Washington Post  The terror group ISIS is proving effective at coordinating – or at the very least motivating – attacks in major Western cities, but Syria and Iraq are at the heart the Islamic State ISIS is trying to build. Why Syria? Remember, just five years ago, democratic protests there were part of a movement many dubbed the “Arab Spring.” That was tragically too optimistic. Most of the countries where those protests flourished are now mired in brutal war. And what of the protesters who started it? For the most part, they’re in prison, in exile or dead. Washington Post Beirut Bureau Chief Liz Sly marked the fifth anniversary of protests in Syria with a detailed look at how that nation’s democratic revolt went so terribly wrong.
