I'm a nobody - just a Christian American conservative, a rugby mom married to a handyman who has fallen in love with Syria and has spent hundreds of hours over the past several months trying to understand what's going on over there. After never in my life supporting a "dictator", I now consider Bashar al Assad one of my heros and I pray for him and for Syria everyday. I believe the US is determined to hand over the ME on a platter to the Muslim Brotherhood both through liberal naivete about their true goals and methods and through conservative desire to justify defense spending. I personally don't need it justified - I agree with a strong defense - I just don't want to continue to shred countries to get the terrorist rats in the walls and to further the caliphate dreams of salafis.
