unfortunately, israel might be the only power left that can save syria from collapsing into afghan-like backwardsness and, in fact, that might have been the plan.

i hope that israel takes these fuckers on directly and wipes them out.

unlike the coast of lebanon, damascus is outside of any reasonable sphere of ancient israel and, in invading damascus the israelis would be pushing it beyond any acceptable point, but i'd rather have the jews seize the city and enforce some modern concept of law than see it governed by thugs out of the back of a koran.
