The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
When Will "They" Ever Learn?
A line from an old American folk song of the 60's is fitting for the current history of Syria. Why does a leader kill many of the citizens of his country, make others flee their homes and homeland and destroy the treasures of the country he leads. It is hard to believe that such insanity still prevails and why and for what gain.
This is the 11th century crusader castle near Homs in Syria. I read that it was recently bombed. It is on the UNESCO's World Heritage sites endangered list.
I have posted other pictures of Syria. They are all in the set this image was added to I visited Syria three years ago and now thousands of Syrians have died and millions have had to flee in order to save their own lives. I never thought in a million years that I would be showing pictures of a disappearing Syria just a few years after my visit there.
