Yep. Lebanon was originally carved out of the Levant States as a safe haven country for Christian and Druze Muslims. The Druze are one of the few genuinely moderate and tolerant brands of Islam. As such, they are considered apostate by mainstream Muslims.

Lebanon was considered the jewel of the Middle East when the Druze were the other 20%.

Thanks Kaslin. Sanctions on Iran undermine their worldwide terror campaign, and much of that is located in Lebanon and Syria.

Everything is America’s business. Comes with being a super duper power. But that doesn’t mean throwing soldiers and tanks at it. Trump, I think, has a better way, and I’m all for it.
