The Dead Cities of Syria

Syria continues to be in the news as its government persists in its use of violence to crack down on protests inspired by the Arab Spring. It is the latest of many upheavals the country has been through since its formation as a state. In the northwest of the country are reminders of past turmoil and upheaval. Over 700 abandoned settlements bear the collective name The Dead Cities of Syria.

These abandoned municipalities scatter the landscape and contain the remains of a confident, vibrant and sophisticated culture – one which effectively disappeared over fifteen hundred years ago. Left behind, incredible and ancient structures are testament to the ingenuity and piety of the people who once lived here.

I think that the US government should have resigned and ceded power to the OWS protestors instead of using military force aginst them. When you have protestors in a country the correct thing to do is let the protestors take over.

The funny thing here is that the protestors are all CIA funded and backed.

Just like Libya

Hopefully Russia and China will not tolerate another sovereign country to be overthrown by US tyranny

The CIA has been perfecting mind-control for decades and you see the insidious result in being able to send thousands of protestors to their deaths. I trace it all back to Franco's death in '75. The world pretty much went to hell after that.
