Pynchon on Syria

[Markekohut]

Think of the AtD focus on geographic natural boundaries vs. artificially created Nation-States.

The people who inhabit Syria have ancestors as far back as any, but Syria, the current Nation-State's boundaries were created in the 20's by the colonial powers.

And, remember the gas smell in ATD's Europe during WW1 years? Geneva convention of 1925
Started the international banning of 'chemical weapons' use.
