I agree. I don't see the urgency for us to go in there and upset the apple cart. This is a real opportunity. Assad is a wimp. I can't see how this guy sleeps soundly at night.
The Syrians are talking tough, but I don't think they want to engage the Israelis.
Also, how can anyone protect Assad? How can the Americans prop him up?
I agree, if he comes out against Hizbollah he's dead meat.
I'd love to see an all out war among the Arabs Sunni vs Shia countries..but it won't happen, but there is clearly a re-allignment...and the young people in these countries who are educated must like the idea of choices and the good life...in their life....
Very interesting times....but these war mongers asking Bush to "act" is irresponsible.
IF they attack us, that's another story.
The way things are going that one might be nuclear. Two sides filled with folks who want to be martyred for Allah and both of 'em have the Bomb. Cheery thought.
Just call me "Mr. Sunshine"... ;-)
