Okay. But you're trying to cover so much ground in your post that it's impossible to respond to it.  What's the overall point you're trying make? Do you think America/Israel should attack or disarm Syria and break it into three parts, which is the apparent ultimate balkanization plan -- in order to destroy it as a nation and to destroy its secular government and install a jewish international centralized bank?  What do you want to see happen in Syria now -- in three paragraphs max? that's kind of my point.....there's soo much ground to cover, that when you DON'T look at all this other relevant past of the last 50 years or so, her point might seem to stand on its own. but when you DO know all of this stuff and more, her point resembles more of a self serving key hole view.    I'm sure I could come up with some suggestions after deliberating, but my point isn't that I have all the answers, and no argument should come down to that scenario because it distracts from the reasons of the history behind the issues.    personally, I wouldn't bat an eye if we nuked every square inch of the middle east.    her situation is more like if obama and his cohorts decided to elevate all blacks to elite status and all whites to rebel status, while the elites go on tv defending obama for his bombing american cities to kill whites, while demonizing whites to the world for fighting back.    it'll take more than a pretty face and luscious lips of a sheltered rich girl to alter my perceptions. it's easy to spout this or this while you're living comfortably in the lap of luxury, just like how obama tells us this or that about jobs and the economy and for americans to suck it up while eating and vacationing like he's a billionaire at our expenses. I never really cared for romney, but I always thought it was funny how obama claimed he was an elitist while obama was living more lavishly than romney ever did.
