You are also absolutely correct in saying that.. "Syria is at best a parvenu theocracy and a racket of bullies and beastie vandals; to include it on a roll figuring giants of history (who have actually made contributions to the advancement of mankind) is misplaced flattery to say the least!" It was poor judgment on my behalf to place Syria anywhere near the above great nations of past and present. I just want people to realise that just as these giants have fallen (excluding the US of coarse) and their swords broken, so will the miniscule pin prick in the side of the Lebanese be removed…..soon I hope, "God willing". Jalal Louis, you are correct the US should not be on that list……yet.

But anyway, that's a different discussion. Syria is at best a parvenu thugogracy and a racket of bullies and beasty vandals; to include it on a roll figuring giants of history (who have actually made contributions to the advancement of mankind) is misplaced flattery to say the least!
