#1 Why doesn't Assad change the name of the country from Syria to East Persia? It would be more reflective of the reality on the ground. Maybe the national seal should be an image of Assad kneeling, kissing the hand of the Iranian President.

#2 Iran hasn't finished (although its well underway) paying for rebuilding Hezbollah assets destroyed in the 2nd Lebanon war. There are other civilian buildings that Hezbollah has promised to rebuild but no one really expects them to do so. Hezbollah has lots of other O&M costs for which Iran is paying.

All this while the Mullocracy has its own financial problems.
