" The only reason Syria and Iran remain sovereign, unabsorbed governments, and the only reason the imperial body count isn't much higher today, is because enough people put their foot down and said "NO" to that kind of war."

The resilience of the Iranian and Syrian peoples had nothing to do with it at all?
