The situations that occurred in Libya and are presently occurring in Syria are much distorted in majority of the population’s eyes, with loose details and misinformation being preached by politicians, reported by the mainstream media, and discussed internationally. One key guide to being informed and understanding the events that took place is to realize that living in a certain part of the world shifts your views and the influences apart of that culture or society may distort ones thoughts on the crisis that took place overseas in the middle eastern/African countries of Libya and Syria. Grasping the conflict with an open mind and conducting research, one can acquire suppressed information that’s specifically meant to remain shy of the popular topics being debated in the world of the media and in openly discussed politics internationally. Through numerous research sources, the main point will be to show and prove that intervention in the Libya crisis and the Syria crisis are an extremely dangerous idea and are backed by imperialistic views and the desire for power. Though these rebellions that have been occurring can have a clear cut purpose to remove their benevolent dictators, Gaddafi or Assad, they have merged into western backed forces consisting of extreme Islamist views and goals to implement Sharia law. With the main stream media’s absence to report truth and valid information on these events, many people have become one sided not understanding the views from the other side and have been fed lies with the appearance of truth. The crisis or rebellion that is occurring in Syria is similar to the one in Libya, except that Syria had a much longer time period to prepare for an event like this where as Libya had minimal time. When comparing the two, it is clear that both occurrences had very similar motives and funds. The people backing the rebels in Libya are the same people backing the rebels in Syria and the rebels
