Peter, I know well how Syria started and have been discussing it here from when it was peaceful protests against the regime.
Do you glibly deny that it is now a religious sectarian war with inhuman atrocities committed daily by both sides?

Jim, I first mentioned a figure of 2000 and said where I had heard it.
When you challenged it I provided ample evidence that the figure was reasonable, and you have produced nothing to support a significantly lower figure.
You have made a fool of yourself over a trivial factoid.
Likewise the 7%.
