I agree with your modest proposal. You know... in this day and age with cell phones, go pro cameras and youtube..... a person can search you tube for “Syria war” and watch hours and hours of footage from there. To begin with, the place already looks like London did after Germany bombed it. The devastation of some of those cities is MUCH worse than I initially realized.
Cynic in me says Homs and Ramadi must be atop where the pipeline goes. Homs is shocking.
