The Arab street was under an illusion. They thought that they could combat and destroy the United States and Israel. They actually believed that the Arab states had the weapons the training and the power to defeat an invading army from the United States. And not just because Allah was with them.

An illusion fostered upon them by the wonderful Clinton administration. For eight years, terrorists grew increasingly defiant because Clinton was never serious about stopping them.

What I want to see is Syria coug up the thugs. To me the guy still looks defiant of Bush as if he doesn't believe he is about to be pressurized into submission. I only hope that the administration will back this up with a strong hand and let him reap what he has sown.
