Not America’s business to depose Assad and install the MB like in Egypt.

Sources for 1976 massacre

F L A M E :Israel, the Arabs and Human Rights
How does Israel's record compare with that of the Arab world?
In 1970, during the so-called "Black September" uprising, Jordan killed 3,400 Palestinians in just ten days. In 1976, the Syrian army killed over 23,000 Palestinians. In the three-year "war of the camps", the death toll of Palestinians reached 3,000. At least that number of Palestinians is reported to languish in Syrian prisons.

U.S. Sacrifice

Editor: In viewing the current Middle East crisis it is clear that the United States is sacrificing its morals to deal with Saddam Hussein. U.S. allies Egypt and Syria were Cold War enemies with whom America fought through Israel in 1967 and in 1973.

U.S. government officials have stated that any terrorist attacks like the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 linked to Iraq would be a provocation to war, but Pan Am 103 has been linked to new U.S. ally, Syria.

In 1982 Syrian President Hafez Assad ordered 20,000 civilians in the Syrian city of Homa killed. The great, democratic United States of America is helping this man. Israel is condemned by the United Nations for the deaths of 14 Palestinians who attacked defenseless worshipers, but in 1976 the Syrian army killed 23,000 Palestinians. In 1970 the Jordanian military killed 3,400 Palestinians in 10 days of the ''black September'' riots.

In 1986 the nation America is attempting to restore with the lives of its own citizens, expelled 27,000 of its own people for pro-Palestinian rallies. Kuwait also allows slavery. Israel's United Nations ambassador summed up the situation by saying, ''I think the U.S. has a goal, and that is to maintain this coalition . . . against the aggression of Saddam Hussein in the Gulf, and to achieve that goal they think some principles can be sacrificed.''
