The War of Syrian Agression

The Confederate States called the US Civil War the War of Northern Aggression. Or so I have been told..

Today we have civil wars existing or on the verge thereof, in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.

In Lebanon, from http://blog.case.edu/james.chang/2006/07/20/lebanon_rubble.jpg













There is a common denominator. Actually two. The first, and most important: Syria. The second: Iran. I have nothing against the people of either country. To me, people are people. But politics are not politics. I do take issue with Syria's present politics.

Because of that. Because of Syria's actions in their quest for power and control in Iraq, in Palestine, and in Lebanon, I think two things:

1. The civil wars in Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon are all the same conflict.
2. The conflict in question could be called the War of Syrian Aggression.
