How is it possible they are so full of laughter and waving at us? But they are.
Pamela Mkhaimer I have no words except that my heart breaks for these precious souls. May God forgive us :(
I wrote this several days ago. I'm still sorting out some of the notes I took along the trip. This one is worth posting.
I am sitting in Latakia after a ten-day tour up the coast from Damascus. Every student, teacher, nurse, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, dentist, average Syrian we spoke to knows exactly who designed and did this terrible war in Syria and it sure as hell was not Assad. His popularity has gone from 60% before the war to 98% now.
They have told us stories of the foreign mercenary terrorists, shipped in through NATO partner, Turkey, paid by American dollars and promised anywhere from $300 to $1000 a month. Some recruiters even threw in women as an added incentive. Most of these so-called moderate rebels were NOT Syrian.
"Don't apologize. I don't want to hear your apologies. I want to know why your government decided to destroy Syria. For what? It wasn't enough to start an uprising? Your terrorists had to destroy our heritage, our culture. I don't want you to apologize. I want answers." came from an Armenian/Syrian businesswoman who runs the Baron Hotel in Aleppo, where dignitaries from Churchill to TE Lawrence stayed. It's empty now.
Snipers, until the past year, took up positions across from the front portico and shot at each other and anyone else who walked in their path. The 500,000 Syrians that Americans whine about being killed in the 'alleged civil-war' are primarily soldiers. ISIS came into areas, took them over and murdered every Syrian soldier captured. The stories we heard broke our hearts.
Halfway through the tour of the Armenian quarter, our usually upbeat guide, Abdul, broke down and cried. "Why? Why? Why would your government destroy the most beautiful part of Aleppo? For what reason? There was nothing here to gain except to destroy our heritage, our beauty."
We had no answer. There IS no answer.
The path of what happened is pretty obvious if you are actually here. Call it the US/Israel/Saudi/Turkey axis of evil or just call it the Israeli/NATO/US terrorist network.
We no longer apologize (there are 8 of us here, all Americans). We just listen and record.
That's Abdul walking, on his left are buildings that used to house restaurants and businesses and cafes. People came from around the world to see the Armenian quarter of Aleppo
All of this will have to come down
