Please note:  There are a number of perspectives on the crisis in Syria and Lebanon. The US media tend to offer one perspective that is not shared by our partners. We post here additional news sources and links that provide a broader perspective of what is happening in the two countries, by those who have some experience in the region. We encourage all our followers to take in what views are offered and to think critically, pray, and share with one another, that we might clarify the truth in any matter.
