God has messages for Assad and Warren is a faithful courier . . . fine with me.
I can't believe he's so stupid as to believe Christian persuasion will turn any tide toward good with Assad.
I don't blame him for seeking to do good. It's part of the Gospel to be a peace maker. But if he becomes as clueless as peanut brain . . . God have mercy.

Sadly I think Rick is being led astray by himself on this one. These people he is outreaching to are evil.
