    The country was destroying itself for many years prior to this latest outbreak of domestic strife born of that most peaceful of ideas.

    Infrastructure etc damage? Germany and Japan both flourished after WW2 with some cities completely obliterated- thanks to populations who genuinely wanted a better life & were more than happy to make the effort in the pursuit of such.

    Look at old cities & imagine just how much more productive & user friendly they would be if redesigned & rebuilt today. A huge opportunity or just another reason to sit on their backside with their hands out- the choices are clear & very revealing as to a culture’s true nature.

    Let’s see how they look at the situation. Sadly from the way most ME nations approach things I can guess which way it will go- at times like this it’s always great to be proven wrong.

    Freed from Turkish rule just over 100 years ago might this be the moment Syrians stand up & show others in the region how to get cracking or just start shooting each other again while their women & children suffer?

    Pride or progress? The question that has, in that region, been receiving a self destructive answer for centuries...
