How has the discovery of gas play into the turmoil and what was social media role in the Syrian unrest? Why did Assad leave Lebanon? The assassination of harriri? If Syria is a nation isn't it illegal to undermine them? Why Syria? Kofe's Plan! So sad. I have a book with photos of cherry blossom trees, and all sorts of flora and fauna of Syria. Unfortunately my Arabic is nonexistent. I pull it out and cry. The same question is why Syria?
