Phil Giraldi is spot on. It makes no sense to sanction Asma al-Assad. In truth though, none of the sanctions against Syria are justifiable. I remember when I was there last year, talking to a woman who worked with kids with cancer. She said that most of her work involved just sitting with the children

One way we remember events that are important to us is through video. Below is an archive of a dozen videos from our June/July trip to Syria. I have ordered the videos chronologically:The end of the War on Syria!
Credit where it is due – Donald Trump has done the right thing. He’s withdrawing US troops from Syria, which effectively ends the war! Today I notice that the UAE is re-opening its Syrian embassy – a sign that things will now slowly return to normal. Mind you, the response in the US has been howls of protest from both sides of government! Apparently, there’s no need for Congressional approval

Read Morethe Syriac Orthodox Church – a light shining in the darkness!
January, 2017 – our Australian delegation had a wonderful time visiting the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate in Damascus. While there, I had the privilege of interviewing his grace, Ignatius Aphrem II – the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch.

Fathers – don’t let your daughters grow up to be women
FATHERS in Eastern Aleppo are asking religious scholars if it is cool to kill their daughters before they are “captured and raped by Assad, Hezbollah, and Iranian militias”, Middle East Monitors reports. The publication, sometimes accused of links with the … Continue reading

Iraq, ISIS and Syria – what’s going on?!
So many crazy things are happening in the hell that is flowing from Syria into Iraq at the moment that it’s hard to know what is going on. As Christians we need to make a meaningful response to all this bloodshed … Continue reading
Understanding the war in Syria – a sketch video
This is an engaging attempt to explain the violence in Syria, if a little simplistic. I would question it at two points. Firstly, I’m not convinced that the Syrian war ever did start as a purely democratic uprising. I suspect … Continue reading
Why the Syrian rebellion may soon collapse like a house of cards!
I have just returned from Syria. Over the space of a couple of days our group drove from Damascus to Lattakia to Homs and back to Damascus – all without harassment or signs of imminent violence. The contrast with my … Continue reading
Geneva II – the U.S. agenda is laid bare!
At last Geneva II is underway – not in ideal circumstances and not with everybody in attendance, but underway nonetheless. Most reports on the conference thus far have been stressing the anger and acrimony being displayed by speakers. This is … Continue reading

Iran – the real target of the US attack on Syria
Another frank and common-sense analysis by Robert Fisk. Fisk is surely right about Iran being the real target of US aggression. It is Iran that threatens US/Israeli control of the region and not it’s allies – Syria and Lebanon – … Continue reading

Will US intervention mean the end of Syria as we know it?
From where I stand, the decision by Barack Obama to arm the Syrian rebels will most likely lead us into another World War. According to Franklin Lamb’s excellent analysis below, the US estimates another 50,000 people must be killed before … Continue reading
