If you google - terrorist country - you get a list of countries that are listed as harbouring terrorists.
When I did my modern studies course in high school in 1979-83, Syria was described in all ways as the supreme trouble making country? in the middle east. I often wondered how they always dodged the bullet of repercussions. They were always involved with wars against Israel. Funding of terrorist groups and general mayhem across the middle east. They've been on the terrorist countries list for fifty years.
Now they are fighting themselves? should you cheer on any side within the conflict? these guys are troublemakers. they've doing to themselves what they did to the world for fifty years.
