They Syria regime change fantasy started with misguided US foreign policy. My dream is that our tax dollars go to rebuild this beautiful country. I visited there in 2000 and while they did not have freedom of speech, there was peace, health care and a beautiful culture of family values. Today it is a war torn ruin. The church where we spent Christmas Eve in Aleppo now is in ruins!
