Mark Twain in 1867 wrote about Damascus: “She measures time not by days and months and years, but by the empires she has seen rise and prosper and crumble into ruin. She is a type of immortality.” CONTINUE READING

The Greater Israel Plan has met its match.
Assad has his flaws but I have consistently maintained that the people support him because he represents the Syria they remember and wish to restore. He was forced to become a warrior against his quiet and basically sweet nature. Those involved in the attacks on Syria shall indeed be punished although it is not up to us to make the final decision between the criminals and God. But they shall indeed pay for every death, every ache and pain, brought upon the world by this horror.
Yet every Syrian refugee I have met, and I know a few, have sworn madly against him. This does confuse me somewhat. I even had to change car mechanics because the local garage I went to for 15 years is owned by Syrians and my innocent question about the war, about 2 years ago, led to such anger against Assad and my supporting him “in my Western ignorance” that soon I was looking for a new garage! My quiet comments had led to a bit of an explosion and I just never felt comfortable to return.
But I guess this ignorant Westerner knows the truth when she reads it because Syria shall get past this in her timelessness.
