Syrian Americans Feel Pride, Conflict for Both Homelands

'We're Part of Both Worlds': Syrian Americans Feel Pride, Conflict for Both Homelands



Just days before the world waited to see if the United States would take military action against Syria, several Syrian Americans talked with ABC News about how the conflicts in their motherland have affected their lives here.
"When I'm here in the United States, I'm a minority," said Salem Samra, a 33-year-old plastic surgeon. "I'm Arab-American, a Muslim. When I'm in Syria, I'm a minority, I'm an American. We're part of both worlds."
