Syria’s Growing Count<\/strong><\/p>\nThe war has left 230,000 Syrians dead. In the region’s modern history, it is only second to the Iran – Iraq war which left a million people dead on either side. As the ISIS continues to strengthen its hold the rest of the world will continue to spoil their expansion through air strikes. In the middle are the helpless Syrians whose numbers will keep rising.<\/p>\n

I do not blame the US and its disciples for this. Although Syria’s fall is attributed to the presence of ISIS and the resulting war, the rest of the world cannot walk out without feeling guilty. They have worsened Syria in their attempt to save her. Do not get me wrong. I am not discouraging the air strikes on ISIS base, but I am pointing out the tragedy facing Syria, hoping that more people understand what the Syrians are suffering through.<\/p>\n
