Just A Funny Coincidence

SAYS HERE we are hitting the anniversary of the Famine of Mount Lebanon.  This was an especially ugly moment in the Great War, a brutal assault on the population of Syria, just about a hundred years ago.  Out of all the countries -- France, Russia, Germany -- who took it in the teeth in the course of that war, Syria lost a greater proportion of its population than anyone else because of this disease-riddled famine. 

I don't need to tell you what's been going on lately in Syria, do I?  MORE OF THE SAME.

It's just funny how it comes back around again on the guitar, without anyone believing it has anything to do with them...
