Although I wouldn’t term any country or territory around Middle East peaceful, Syria didn’t use to be so much in news in terms of violence until lately – with that I mean about a decade ago.
I came across this heartbreaking scene of Damascus suburbs in YouTube today. In what originally must have been a vibrant and full-of-life beauty, it now looks like a horrible scenery from a post-apocalyptic movie.
It’s sad that human greed and thirst for power is capable of crushing parts of thousands of years of civilization.
