Here at AOA, we believe that the triad of physical geography, religious loyalties, and military history goes a long way in explaining most dilemmas of current affairs.
One of the most astute blogs that considers these factors seriously is by a Catholic geographer at GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELS.
Our MondayMap this week is a reference to his map and explanation of Syria, and the divisions which shaped the original French Mandate after the First World War.
For those of us who advocate a military enclave or state for Christians in the Mideast while we winter out the Arab Spring – this map has a lot of lessons.
