Why do you consider the Golan Heights to be a part of Syria? What special claim to that land does Syria have, other than precedent? Syria launched a war for territory and it lost... so it lost some territory. Territory that had been used to launch Katyusha rocket artillery on Israel.

My opinion doesn't count. Neither does yours. The opinion of the United States Government, which does count, is that it does not recognize the Golan Heights as a legally-annexed part of Israel. If you don't like it then you should take it up with your representatives.
