Syria and Afghanistan were attacked by the West.
One resisted and won, the other one was occupied
and consequently destroyed.
By Andre Vltchek: Two terrible wars, two mighty destructions, but two absolutely opposite outcomes.One resisted and won, the other one was occupied
and consequently destroyed.
In Syria, it may be autumn now, but almost the entire country is blossoming again, literally rising from ashes. Two thousand miles east from there, Afghanistan is smashed against its ancient rocks, bleeding and broken. There, it does not really matter what season it is; life is simply dreadful and hope appears to be in permanent exile.
Historic Damascus
Damascus, the ancient and splendid capital of Syria, now the Syrian Arab Republic, is back to life again. People go out until late at night, there are events; there is music and vibrant social life. Not all, but many, are smiling again. Checkpoints are diminishing, and now one does not even have to go through metal detectors in order to enter museums, cafes and some of the international hotels.
