The head honcho there is Tom Cooper, who has published a number of books on Middle Eastern aviation. He is based in/near Vienna.
You will have to log in to view. Once in, click on Forum on the upper right corner, then scroll down to Air Power in War Section, and click on Current Conflicts. You will find a thread labelled Syria Uprising TXII, July 13. This is the 12th thread on the Syria Uprising; they get closed and a new thread started when the thread gets too long. There are other Syria related threads in the Current Conflicts section. There are a number of Middle Eastern posters there, and there is heavy linking to videos on the Internet.
Enjoy! (which may not be the right way to consider the subject).

Link is behind a paywall, but unlocked for the next several hours.
I'd file it under low-to-moderate probability, high impact.

“Military Leaders’ Obligation to Justify Killing in War” CPT Pete Kilner, Instructor, U.S. Military Academy, Phone: 914-938-4764, Fax: 914-446-2562, E-mail: cp4040@usma.edu,
Paper presented to: The Joint Services Conference on Professional Ethics; Washington, DC, January 27-28, 2000; Updated as of 2/28/2000.
Abstract: The methods that the military currently uses to train and execute combat operations enable soldiers to kill the enemy effectively, but they leave the soldiers liable to post-combat psychological trauma caused by guilt. This is a leadership issue. I argue that combat training should be augmented by explaining to soldiers the moral justification for killing in combat, in order to reduce post-combat guilt. Soldiers deserve to understand whom they can kill morally and why those actions are indeed moral. I outline an explanation for that moral justification.
(Hopefully the above is a legitimate piece of research/scholarship. - SFreader)
]]>I use Norton AV, and it has never complained about the website. And I do not remember any comments about virus problems on the website. And Googling "Air Combat Information Group" does not produce any Google warnings in the returned list of websites. So I don't know why McAfee would be complaining.
Enjoy!
