Thanks for your views. We are truly a world at war with every step, or misstep, magnified. I pray that Pres. Biden does not do anything stupid in his last 5+ weeks in office and I pray that Pres. Trump and his advisors have their "A" game ready when they come out of the tunnel (an American football term) and onto the field. At this level, no options are good, some are just less bad than others. Just spend my defense tax dollars wisely.

Thank you for this history of the region. This dreadful situation under Assad has continued for a never ending period of time. The atrocities he committed against his people were unspeakable. As you say, I’m sure if the Americans had acted on this immediately, things would have been brought to a swift end. So much suffering could have been avoided. It is certain that Israel’s approach to Iran and Hezbolla has hastened the end. Now is the time to wait and see if the victors are true to their word and can convince Israel and the world that we have nothing to fear from them.
