Talk:Pax Syriana
I removed
- Some believe that the name of the 2005 movie Syriana is inspired by the term Pax Syriana.
bcz WP is not a rumor mill, and it makes no sense if "some believe" is excised. We need to know two specific instances of someone believing that, and the reasons they give, so we can decide whether the shared belief that that language asserts is notable.
I removed
- refer to an idealized Middle Eastern country
in favor of "hypothetical" (or the military "notional" might work, tho it's a little obscure). Besides the more concrete claim than "some believe", i found the
- used by Think tanks
formulation to be probably testable, and to be moving in the direction of specificity that offers some hope of verfiability in the hands for a researcher more prepared than i to hunt down some specifics -- which is why i left it in rather than treating like the "Syrian is about Pax Syriana". But i thot that it was better asserted and patently unsourced, than let stand in a way that suggested saying "think tanks" w/o examples is what we mean by verifiability.
