Syria, US explore improving ties as Kerry visits

The United States and Syria are exploring the possibility of a new era of better relations after years of tension — but questions remain over just how much common ground exists between the two.
A key sign that President Barack Obama is seeking better ties is the flurry of U.S. congressmen who have passed through Syria in the last few days, including Sen. John Kerry, who arrived Saturday and met with President Bashar Assad.
The State Department also announced Friday it has scheduled a meeting next week with Syria’s ambassador to the U.S. to discuss outstanding differences between the two countries — the first such meeting in months.
The congressional delegations, led by Democrats, are carrying the message that America wants to engage countries it’s been at odds with if they’re willing, as Obama puts it, to unclench their fists.
On the face of it, the visits are proof of America’s willingness to do away with the former Bush administration’s policy of isolating Syria.
For example, when former President Jimmy Carter and Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came to Syria in 2007 and 2008 respectively, the Bush administration chastised them, saying their visits hurt U.S. interests.
