Lebanese Muslims bomb U.S. embassy. For 12+ years it is true anarchy. Peace has been restored since 2000.

Syria Syria has always been prosperous due to good farmland. Turkey has been damming Syria’s main water source, the Euphrates. This could devastate the country. Was run by a dictator until 2000, when the new president began political and economic reform.
