Boundaries
evolve. Change is a continuum grinding out political realities.
Nations too evolve. Like Christian churches that formerly were true
to the Bible and evolved away into heretical cultist states of
apostasy, nations that once were democracies evolve into tyranny or
imperial evil empires applying vanishing crème to their boundaries
with other nations. Change is inevitable given enough time; in a few
dozen million years the Pacific ocean will evolve into a nice little
sea like the Mediterranean, yet some things do endure forever. The
word of God will always be true and people will misinterpret the
Bible. Science, theology and politics often use bad hermeneutics to
interpret what is right for foreign policy. The Syrian conflict is a
case in point.
There
isn't enough chat about rational Syrian boundaries that would
conserve peace among the various parties that live there. I have thus
drawn a map myself...Kurds would do pretty well taking the border
along Turkey. They would share the coast with the present lawful
government of Syria. The Assad government would keep the interior
down to Damascus. Jordan would get a new chunk of Eastern Syria to
administer as a trust territory for those Sunni that can't live
peacefully with the Alawi and Christians of the lawful government of
Syria or with Kurds.
Here
is an inexact map (Lebanon is the area inside the yellow line and
Israel the blue line).
Plainly
the Caliphate have other ideas about the final map of the post-Syrian
civil war. They believe that some sort of a final battle- an
Armageddon with sparks, smoke, bullets, bombs etc. will transpire at
an ominous eerie village named something like Dab or Dork ick between
the modern version of the Roman Evil Empire- the one led by the
Democrat Party and a party of dilettante global imperialist Muslims.
Blood will run freely flowing like PCB and oil polluted rivers deep
around SUV wheels with high-tech fighters wildly swinging around .50
cal machine guns. So as the 13th
theologian Ibn Taymiyyah perhaps informs us or not ( I will need to
read Aquinas' contemporary to see how that relates to Contra
Summa Gentiles),
seventy-two virgins is sexist clumped enough to attract legions of
American and Euro-women to enlist in the conflict to serve even
though they don't know what they get in the afterlife for-themselves
as a post-life economic equivalence of the promised promiscuous life
within group marriage promised for mart-erd male warriors of
Muhammad.
The
Caliphate's expansionist ideas are the moral equivalence of
N.A.T.O.'s ideas about annexing formerly Russian lands that were part
of the Soviet Union too, after the end of the Cold War when Russia
was weak and at the mercy of the implacable sword of President Bill
Clinton able to threaten implicitly with atomic annihilation of
potential puny resistance provided in the C.I.S. paradigm thrust on
President Boris Yellin. Democrat Party theory and practice is that if
a target of opportunity looks like easy prey and snatch it, bag it
and move on; munching and texting further while driving in economic
war. After the U.S. abandonment of Iraq following the election of
President Obama, and with U.S. support for Arab Spring revolutions,
and with the U.S. President attacking as a war material, weapons,
cash and training facilitator coordinated the rise of a rebel army to
attack the lawful government of Syria, Al Qaeda of Iraq saw the
situation of Syria as a ripe, rotten target plum fine for maggots of
war to bite down until subdued under the rule of Caliph-fate.
Though
there is much conflict in the region, when it all boils down,
probably everyone living will need to live there in keeping some kind
of rational boundary configuration.
On
the other hand, though the Syrian war is a kind of tribulation like
that written by the prophet John in the Revelation as commonly
misunderstood by those calling themselves pre-tribulationists, since
the tribulation already happened in the mid to late first century
A.D. when the Romans and the world were defeated by Jesus Christ who
overcame death followed by the killing of disciples and destruction
of Jerusalem, the rise of the kingdom of God did occur and
Christianity under the guidance of the Holy Spirit grew unto the
entire world, while the wrong political zeitgeist drives belligerent
parties of Syria as lemmings before the hurricane on steep ocean
waves before the blizzard strikes and the thunder sounds and they
want borders consistent with that. Snide
evolution
theory only supremacists on the other hand view the conflictants as
Neanderthalish haters that require adult evolutionist supervision.
Political evolutionists cannot imagine the Bible is a literally true
word of God as they misunderstand its content equally well-in
fact-with a mirror image of inaccuracy-with fundamentalist only
Christian pre-tribulationists and Muslims that deny global plate
tectonics and the deepest meaning of the Marinas trench.
While
the challenges of pre-tribulationist Christian fundamentalists and
Muslims makes competent birder stability in less-than-empire totality
challenging to understand, the Kurds have been promised a nation of
their own since the first world war and have fought rather well to
defeat evil ISIS land-grabbers. The Kurds should remain allied with
Iraq yet be allowed to annex a confederated state bordering on Turkey
administered independently by the Kurds for-themselves.
