DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Syria is preparing a law that would prohibit trade dealings with the United States in response to U.S. sanctions imposed on the Arab country last month, Syrian legislators said Saturday.

More than 130 members of the 250-seat legislature have prepared a draft of the "America Accountability Act" that would impose "strict sanctions" on American interests in Syria.

The humor and derision on this thread is obvious to the Muslim world. Who could take them seriously. Humiliation and Islam do not go well together.

This is why Iran is building the Bomb and why Syria took the risk of hiding Saddam's WMD IMHO. It is rough on the old ego when all you can cheer is the beheading of a guy who never harmed anyone and even liked Arabs. Pathetic but dangerous and very evil.

Syria provides America, Americans, and allies of America with terrorist attacks, weapons of mass destruction delivered by terrorists, terrorists, saboteurs, bombs, enemies, refugees, and immigrants. I've heard that terrorist organizations have outsourced their leadership, infrastructure, and operations to terrorist-friendly Syria.

I'm afraid that none of the aforementioned products will be restricted under these new regulations.

Seriously, the CIA estimates that the repressive socialist Syrian Arab Republic produces 552,700 barrels per day of petroleum (30th place, <1% of the world total), of which it consumes 265,000 barrels per day.

Syria also exports fruits, vegetables, fine cotton, textiles, meat, livestock, and wheat. Other industries include tobacco and phosphorous mining.

Of the $21.5 billion in Syrian imports, 4.3% came from America. These imports consist largely of machinery, vehicles, electricity, food, livestock, metals, chemicals, plastics, yarn, and paper.

Those Iranian reactors will hopefully not stay standing for much longer. They have to be taught a very hard lesson, and maybe, depending on how hard the lesson, Terror will significantly drop. They are the mother of all terrorists!

D@mn, stop laughing, this is serious, gosh without trade with Syria there goes my sex life, my job, and everything that I have worked for my whole life!

Where oh where can one replace the all desired influx of Syrian imports to guarantee financial stability in the USA?

There isn't one thing on that list that we can't import from Iraq.
