Now its parks or nature reserves. Will there be a Parks Board.? Like in Yellowstone National Park? Will Yogi the Bear, be the new symbol ? Whether these are new ideas. One cannot be sure. One point is clear. Syria is not not Montana. Nor is Hezbollah, the Boy Scouts of America. Now they say its almost 80 % acceptable. To Syria that is, some 10 years ago. I revisited Golan some time back. From scrubby landscape, it has become home to many thousands of hard working farmers, with vineyards, orchards and horse/Cattle breeders. Damascus, can be seen quite clearly. So can Tiveria. I fought my way up that mountain in 1967. I will fight to keep it safe. From the Extreme Islamic Challenge. Syria is no key player. Never has been. Syria is still at war with Israel, since 1948. Parks, indeed. Political hype with a capital H. |
