Protect the Christains
Reader comment on item: When Sunni and Shiite Extremists Make War
Submitted by Rick (United States), Jun 26, 2013 at 16:46
The only moral obligation of America in Syria and Lebanon is to protect the Christian populations. Provide them with humanitarian aid and such arms as may be necessary to secure their neutrality. The christians live mainly along the Syrian/Lebanon border and have given humanitarian aid to both shiite and sunni families while trying to be neutral. I think that is the only rightful course for America to steer by.
