I went to a baptist church when I was a teenager and they convinced me to get baptized AGAIN.

 

Of course I was raised Episcopalian so the "tugging and wooing" really worked on me. That is called manipulating emotions.

This place is worse than the war in Syria:

 

"It's complicated - but the best way to start is by looking at the war as a conflict between those who, in broad terms, support and oppose Mr Assad and his government.

 

On the Syrian government's side, we have:

 

Russia (carries out air strikes and provides political support at the UN)

 

Iran (provides arms, credit, military advisers and reportedly combat troops)

 

Hezbollah (The Lebanese Shia movement has sent thousands of fighters)

 

Shia Muslim militias (recruited by Iran from Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen)

 

And, on the side of the rebels* we have:

 

Turkey (provides arms, military and political support)

 

Gulf Arab states (provide money and weapons)

 

The US (provides arms, training and military assistance to "moderate" groups)

 

Jordan (provides logistical support and training)

 

*The term "rebels" is used to describe a huge and diverse array of fighters, some of whom co-operate with jihadists like those from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an al-Qaeda-linked alliance.

 

Different foreign states often back different rebel factions."

At this point, it's also worth noting that although the US supports some rebel groups, it had not intentionally attacked the Syrian government directly until Friday, when it fired missiles at an airbase used in an alleged chemical attack.
