Assad is just as stupid as the Persian ape. One day he is saying peace peace Israel give us the Golan for peace. Next day he is saying Iran. Iran Syria needs to get closer to Iran. This is the man Olmert says we should give the Golan to for peace, lets just put the entire Iranian millitary on our front door. Its only a matter of time before Assad allows Iran to put air and millitary bases in Syria putting Israel in range of Iranian aircraft and have Iranian tanks on the border and we will have given away the Golan so all Iranian tanks have to do is casualy drive down the demilitarised Golan into Israel shooting at everything they say before the IDF is in position to retaliate. Signing the Golan over to Syria is like signing it overt to Ahmadinijad.

Even though moslems are busy blowing up each others mosques and kiling each other one thing does unite them. Their hatred against Jews and strong desire to destroy Israel. A good or bad moslem will always side with a fellow moslem against Israel. Thats something the delusional leaders of Israel can't seem to face. It is insanity driven by whiffs of no peace polluted fog which drives Israel down the Road Map to destruction.

Syrian Defense Minister Hassan Turkemani and a Syrian army delegation arrived in Iran for an official visit. While mentioning the ties between the two countries, as well as "recent regional developments," the Iranian Defense Minister expressed confidence that there would be no change in Syria's relationship with Iran. In addition to deep military and cultural ties, Syria is also heavily bound up with Iran financially. Iran is invested in Syrian car-manufacturing plants, a cement making facility, multi-million dollar wheat silos, fleets of buses and more.

Germany, Italia, Russia, Japan and Spain were allied during WWII. Russia was attacked by Germany, Japan was almost completelly distroyed, Spain drove deep until 1975 and Italia hung Mussolinni....Iran plays the nazi Germany and Syria plays the Russia...there will be no marshal plan for them, and both terror countries will be completelly exterminated. Good bye Iran, good bye Syria...we will not miss you at all !!

Syria in playing the Iranian card very well to her advantage. Syrian priority is Golan Heights and a border with lake Tabaraya not Iran.

Whilst it is true what you have surmised,you must remember that Israel's leadership,out of sheer superiority in arms and technologies,who went about annexing land and disregarded UN resolutions knowing that USA was always on hand to veto any resolution against Israel.The result is that Israel is now surrounded with so many enemies and has to fight on so many fronts.Not a day passes without we reading something or the other happening surrounding Israel's borders.The momentum of these past acts is beging to float and is being percieved by the present Israel's leadership with concern.You chose the path of constant problems......................and thus the forthcoming extra ordinary problems for the citizens. To worry about Iran's relationship with Syria and Hamas and Hezbullah getting support from Iran and so forth is NOT going to solve any problems.Obviously,USA is in dire need of Israel's support to isolate Iran and is constantly trying to change Syrian's close ties with Iran by doing what you are reading in recent days.USA tried to pull a fast one against Hezbulla's but not only failed,rather made Hezbullah more stronger in the Govt. Therefore,Robert,for you to comment on Syrian/Iranian relationship is nothing new nor is it likely to change overnight in absence of geniune desire on the part of Israel to come to terms with ground realities and recognise that Iran is a senior player in the Middle East and that Hezbullah is not a terrorist organisation but a strong hand of present day Lebanon.This scenerio is true today and will remain so for long time to come.Let the Israel's leadership come to terms rather than to make futile attempts to fight and jeapordise its own peace throughout the country. To keep on playing with the emotions of good Jews by misinterpreting Ahmed Nejad's so-called destruction of Israel call will gradually wear thin and the world will soon realise its folly.

You are generalising the situation about Muslims.Whilst it is true that secterian violence has been quite pronounced in number of Muslim countries,it also does not mean that unity in Muslims comes about only against Israel.If you,for a moment,remain unbiased,you will realise how Israel and its leaders have behaved with Muslims.No need for me to eleborate the historical facts.Recently,the momentum against Israel has grown and the balance of absoulute power is also being compromised.I hope you very well understand what I mean.With these events in mind,dont expect Israel's leaders to gradually try their best to change the scenerio if they can.Compromise with Syria,for instant and get rid of Iranian threats from immediate vicinity.Talk to Mahmoud Abbas and see if Hamas can be kept in check.Try a fast one in Lebanon through the courtesy of Americans and keep Hezbullah in check(unfortunately,this move in Lebanon back-fired).All these moves did not grow in Olmert's brain overnight.......these strategies are as a result of fast changing Middle East,Marcel.If you remain back in history your thinking will as well become historical.Certain costly moves are imperative and tend not to be too naive or overconfident.
