The Middle East, says Syrian President Bashar Assad, 40, seems to be teetering on the brink of chaos. He spoke with SPIEGEL about his country's difficult relationship with the United States, the pressure to go to war, and the consequences of the wars in Lebanon and Iraq.

Feeling the heat, Syria?
Well, thats news.
Why don't we tell him that after 9/11, a little chaos is what the Middle East needs.
Would that we had a choice!
You can't turn on the tv or radio without hearing the latest diatribe from the mid-east.
Up yours!
As I see it, the Middle East is the CAUSE of most of the chaos in this world. It would be a natural result of the mixture of terorism, oil billions and Muslim lunacy that originates there that the civilized veneer cracks open and reveals the rabid hatred and evil that's the norm over there.
When I read these leaders saying "Oh, it's so horrible what Bush has wrought--war might break out all over the Middle East!" I translate that as "Bush is getting those who hoped to continue chipping away at the US quietly to freak out and go on a rampage that might hurt those who have been sitting quietly and enabling them."
Well, at least he's not ordering us to convert to Islam, as the tiny tyrant from Iran does. But that Assad should blame the US for chaos in that hell-hole of the world, the Middle East, where Muslims have enjoyed killing other Muslims for decades, is ludicrous.
Right on, Brother, right on.
Careful what you wish for Assad........You might just find yourself at the razors edge of that scalpel!
And that couldn't be a better thing for Republicans. I suspect the recent antics at the UN by Chavez and the Iranian nutcase have more to do with the recent trend "back to Republicans" showing up in the opinion polls than George Bush's campaigning.
Recent events are showing at every turn that the WOT is the RIGHT IDEA, and that the Democrats are simply incapable of carrying it out as needed.
Syrian President Asshat is the one who better be listening for the whistling of cruise missiles outside his window.
Sooner or later, it's gonna happen.
There is one thing that stood out to me several years ago. I was up in Toronto driving along Yonge Street going from ON 407 down to the "401". The area just North of the 401 what I remembered from the late 80's/early 90's was pretty nice. I remembered there was a good Korean Restaurant - Dr. Kim's. When I drove through there back in 2003, I saw quite a few signs with Arabic writing. One other thing even with Toronto having the reputation of being a clean city, the neighborhood was pretty trashed. There were bars on the windows, trashed cars and trash along the side of the street. Quite a change.
izlam provides for no moral foundation expressed through the will of individuals, only blind directives from sheiks and imans to the masses. So the individuals don't know how to conduct themselves in an orderly and just manner. You get trash, violence, despair, and anarchy. Coming to a neighborhood near you!
As for Assad, he has nothing to say, except he wants to be a power broker. I don't believe for a minute he has 500,000 Golan Heights and Palestinian refugees. We probably have that many Syrian refugees, though, but they are not in camps.
Maybe it's time that Islam listens for a change.
Same thing in both cases: government as the moral foundation, in one case from religion in the other from socialist panacea.
