and England toyed with supporting the South. The death toll is still
lower in Syria than the quell-kill of Assad's father in the '80s and

You will probably wind up with the same pattern of behavior in Islamic
countries no matter who "wins". Instability in the area is an issue

galore. Anyway, I recently found out that technically I am half Syrian
as my maternal grandparents left the Ottoman Empire prior to the re-
invention of Lebanon after WWI. Maybe that's what makes me so
mean. :-) Supposedly, my grandfather played cowboy with Teddy
Roosevelt in the Dakotas and went back to the area to choose a young
bride later on.
