Syria has always been a problem in the whole Israel issue. They back Palestine but do not allow the Palestine's to move into their country. This does not allow the palatines anywhere to go so they keep pushing on Israel, all of which just keeps the terror process going. But now that the pres. and company have had the fore thought and wisdom to show the Arab people (not to be confused with the Arab leaders) that they can have freedom from murder and oppressive governments, those same governments are getting a little nervous about now and are going to be more willing to play ball and give us the cooperation we want in the Israeli Palestine peace issues. The Arab league has already been on TV. telling the world that the people of Iraqi did not want saddam gone. Looks like they are really missing the a-hole to me.
If none of you have notice north Korea is pissing them selves trying to get to the table with us on the nuclear issue. This is the complete oppocent of what the peace crowd said would happen. They said that if we went against Iraqi then Korea would play hardball. Well Korea and Syria and Iran all see that we are not to be messed with. Sounds easy and it is. Peace thru force, it worked against the Russians and it will work against these others. The peace activists have always been wrong on this and they continue to be wrong on how to project the will of the U.S. I little side note , the average age in Iran is 28 yrs old. Read the National Geographic story from this last year about the youth of Iran and how they can't wait to brake free from the religious control of the ayatollahs and copy they free enterprise style of the U.S.A.
