Biden picks up destroying Syria where Obama left off.
It’s funny how the media narrative works, with Obama and Biden depicted as relatively dovish presidents as compared with the Caligula of the US Empire – Trump. I was in Damascus with a member of the Syrian cabinet (I won’t say who) shortly after Trump was elected. He said, “Obama is the worst we have
Read MoreWhy sanction the First Lady of Syria?
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

the 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. Three minutes into … Continue reading

Australia has Syrian blood on its hands!
Up till now Australia has been trying to keep a low profile in the Syrian conflict. We do what the US tells us to do but we stay out of the front lines as far as possible, presumably because the … Continue reading

Jon Stewart parodies Obama's war on 'Islamic State'
This is a powerful mixture of insight and humour from Jon Stewart, though the way he frames the parody does concern me. Stewart rails against Obama’s ‘Team America’ pitch in selling another Middle Eastern war with a view to questioning … Continue reading

Syrian Patriarch says that Christians are being targeted!
Gregarios III was our host in Lebanon and Syria earlier this year. He has been an outstanding example of Christian leadership throughout the current crisis. Rather than hide out in his palace in the (relative) safety of Beirut, the Melkite … Continue reading

Is the US pledge of support for Syrian Rebels was just hot air?
This article echoes what the most knowledgeable people I know are saying – that all the saber-rattling at Doha’s recent ‘Friends of Syria’ gathering was just a lot of noise. The US can’t afford to arm the Syrian rebels – … Continue reading

Mussalaha Peace Mission to Syria – the Concluding Declaration
The Concluding Declaration of the Mussalaha Delegation to Syria – Friday, May 10th 2013 Syria exhibits a massive and terrible breakdown of human decency and respect. There are millions of innocent victims and many individual acts of heroism, but amongst … 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
