Kinda breaks my heart a little.
The guy that taught me Arabic was a Syrian friend named Amir. I won't mention his last name, so as not to paint a target on his back if he's still alive.
He lived in Homs, on Jamil al-Azree, near Mahata Hospital when I lost track of him in 1976. I found one image of him since then, fighting like hell in 1979 in some "unrest" somewhere in the Middle East..
He did have some "business" dealing in Dhaharan, and with any luck he relocated there some time in the past nearly 50 years. Otherwise, since he was a Baathist, I have to presume that if he remained in Homs, he's either dead now or on the run, trying to catch the last boat out of Latakia.
The US should have stayed the hell out of it.
Life sucks some times.
Amir did tell me something that I never forgot, and which has proven true over my lifetime. He said "The warrr don't stopet in Syria. Last 2000 years, same war. Only the players change.":
This latest war there ain't gonna change that.. At best, it may create a short interlude. Very short, probably. AQ and ISIS both have big plans for Syria in their coming caliphate, and we've (the US, that is) just handed them the unrest and instability they'll need to realize it.
On days like this, I'm not even sure I want to identify myself as an "American"... not if this is what America has become. We seem to be pretty suicidal when the Democrats are in control. With "friends" like us, we don't even need any enemies ourselves.

When it come to the Middle East, Kissinger may have understood what our current politicians seem not to grasp at all - when you destabilize an Arab country, you inevitably hand the "fundamentalists" reams of power, and the usual result is a terrorist-controlled state. Lets look at the track record: Iran. Lebanon. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. How many of those nations have benefited positively from outside interference and destabilization? How many of them have benefited US for having done them that way?
I just don't grasp our strategy here. We go in, wreck a place, and then leave a power vacuum in place that ultimately leads to a fertile ground for our enemies to thrive in.
Does that seem sane or beneficial to any one? Why do we keep doing it then?
Isn't that the very definition of "insanity"?
ETA: It strikes me that the Druzes, the subject of this thread, know what time it is in Syria. Living in that world, and understanding how it works there, they realize there is a wave of Islamic fundamentalism coming to Syria, and that they will be persecuted if left to their own devices - their men and boys killed, their women raped and enslaved.
They watched what ISIS did to the Yazidis in Sringar, and know the same thing is coming for them now... and this request to be annexed to Israel is an attempt at self-preservation, a plea for protection from the coming onslaught of terror.
Courtesy of America.
Is it really any wonder that no one in the Arab world trusts Americans? Our history there is to screw up their entire world, and then leave them for dead when they most need us... and we haul ass instead.
