RIP to these brave men.
ReplyDeleteHe gave his life for the Assad family. :o(
ReplyDeleteNo. He gave his life for the security of his homeland. In hope that his country would not be run off by isil like Syria and Iraq. And avoid that his relatives be slaves for the isil Bastards like in Iraq and Syria. Think before u type!
DeleteI did "think" before I typed.If you're so keen in giving your life for the Assad dictatorship then go and volunteer in that pointless civil war.Don't expect others to fight for your personal beliefs.And besides what has Syria and Lebanon got to do with Iran if it wasn't for the fanatics in power in Iran? It was Assad who asked Hezbollah into Syria to fight against his enemies.Where was ISIS then? ISIS came after Hezbollah intervened in Syria. The Islamic regime should keep out of Arab and Israeli affairs because if it doesn't it will mean the end of the system in Iran.

ReplyDeleteNot only for his homeland but the entire region as well. While certain people and states are keen to support terrorist groups like ISIL to enforce the regime change agenda, others like Iran actually fight against those terrorists.
