tehran times picked it up days after it was first published by several OTHER news sources which you might think more credible. We have an awful lot of good stuff on the live thread.
How could we benefit from allowing Assad to continue a regime that has been supporting Iran’s buildup? I don’t see the advantage in that. Also according to public news of the recent past, Iran sent quite a bit of support to Assad. Several nations aligned with Iran have also threatened to retaliate against the U.S.A. in the event of any U.S. strikes against Assad’s forces (common knowledge now).
Christians in Syria and Lebanon are anti-Israel and have repeatedly unified with their Muslim countrymen against Israel.
As for contemporary politics, I don’t care. Both political parties are socialist and have been supporting bands of favored constituents dependent on big government for incomes against the private sector. Both have over-regulated against new, domestic production business starts from every level of government, destroyed fatherhood and families while collaborating with foreign communist governments against the U.S.A. Most politically active constituents are concerned with supporting feminism and other anti-family pathologies against conservatism. Favored constituents in both political parties are anti-Israel.
