Nowhere in this article is a mention of the tens of thousand Syrian people who were forced to run for their lives. Making this area suitable for rehabitation should be one of the top five issues with this new Syrian Government. Of course, I recall years ago, when Iraq was declared free of dangerous armies, and look what happened there.
I hope the Syrians will stand fast and ready to protect what is theirs. It’s much better that they (as Muslims of that land) take the lead, vs expecting the United States to do it. That particular United States, all proactive and efficient, is almost non-existent under Obama.
There’s a new Syrian government?
