The protection of Christians should be our dog in this race and should serve as the basis of our foreign policy.
“The protection of Christians should be our dog in this race and should serve as the basis of our foreign policy.”
The only way to do that would be to actually support Assad, under whom Christians fared fairly well. But that won’t happen, even if we backed off our support for the “rebels”.
Assad did not sign a peace agreement with Israel, but in spite of that the Israeli-Syrian border has been relatively peaceful, minus the last time Israel had to put down Hezbolla.
I don’t expect that defacto comity with Israel to continue under any government led by the core leadership of the “rebels”.
