Syria, on the other hand, their people have begging outsiders for help for a while now... but I would imagine that we would have to topple the Assad regime in order to put an end to it... the public support in the US for that is very low, but I guess if more news got out about all that is/was happening in that region, people would be more sympathetic because we would be putting an end to what Assad had been doing to his own people... I honestly think it could go either way...
This is another insightful post, Maru. Food for thought.
