Yeah, and you can thank that evil leader of Syria Assad (along with an assist from the even more evil Putin) for allowing this to happen. Assad, unlike the radical Muzzie terrorists who have been trying to overthrow his country, has always protected his country’s minority Christian religions. And Putin sees himself as the protector of Christianity in Russia, and throughout his corner of the world.
Its much easier to paint Putin as the villain that our elitist enemies the Dem leaders and Pub neocons want you to believe he is, as the neocons wallow in their old cold war mentalities while trying to suck us into yet another cold war now (see Lindsey Graham and John McCain as prime examples).
Militants? No, terrorists.
