Sorry, but it's hard for me see how a murdering tyrant who wages aggressive war to seize his neighbor's territory (an offense for which we hanged Nazi's at Nuremberg) is a believing Christian.

The Russians aren't ten feet tall, and I have no doubt that the deployment of modest amount of our Navy and Air Force would clean them out of the eastern Med rather quickly.

Allowing the Russian-Iranian axis to move forward until the Iranians have the bomb is insanity.

So, waging a war of aggression is bad, (interesting). And deploying our forces to the med will make the Russians run away. Or did you mean for us to start shooting at Russians?

OK, they are gone in your vision...

Now what?

Who is left, who runs what, who is the cop in the neighborhood?

What will the ME look like, You are King for a Day!!

Run with it Tiger...

Nobody is suggesting that Assad is a believing Christian. The point is that Christians living in Syria are safer with him in power than with someone else running that country. In fact, Christians in the Middle East were better off living in countries run by a lot of people who the U.S. has pushed out of power through various means over the last 15 years -- including Hussein, Mubarak, Khaddafi, etc. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Allowing the Russian-Iranian axis to move forward until the Iranians have the bomb is insanity.

This sentence demonstrates how silly your point is. If the "Russian-Iranian axis" is the real problem here, then doing anything to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal is pointless because they can already get one from the Russians.
