Venezuela is not currently and under Chavez was also not financially supporting Assad, the "support" is ideological. Venezuela is simply choosing to stand with Iran and Assad because doing so puts them in an Anti-American coalition and Venezuela harbors antipathy towards the US because of historic US interference with Latin American politics and the US opposition to socialist regimes. Since Venezuela's support is non-monetary, it makes little sense to focus US policy on courting them to avoid Assad.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
