>To Invade/Bomb them becase they were exporting terrorism and believed to have received WMD stuff before the war started in Iraq. That Syrian leader Assad is a real piece of work also, almost as frightning as Irans leader.

Well, when you consider that his father was also a president there... ooops, wrong thing to pull against him.

I've heard him once on BBC, he got almost more than 30 seconds, and his English was making way more sense than the other guy involved, whose father was also a pre... oh, never mind.

Judging by the language used in news about Syria and Lebanon (Hariri being always mentioned as "Prime minister", although he'd been one for just two weeks; presence of Syrian forces in Lebanon never tied to Israel's "incursions" there in the 80s), it seems that Syria will remain the usual suspect regardless of what they do or don't do.

So I figure Asad is available for target practice (verbal and otherwise), while Musharaf and the Saudis are sacred cows.
