My Analysis of the Overthrow of Syria and it’s Effect on the Middle East
Just read your assessment of the Syrian situation. As one born in Baghdad, with Lebanese citizenship before immigrating to the US, & having lived through 3 coups, Iraq, Lebanon & Iran ( ousting of the Shah), I agree with your assessment 200%. There is no future for us Christians in the Middle East & hasn’t been for a long time. I worry about the Holy sites in the Holy land (Israel), & hope that as long as Israel exists they will protect them.
In Christ
