2. I'm sure that Baby Assad really, really cares about Gaza!
Scott ,   USA   (12.01.08)
The only thing he wants to do with Gaza is annex it.
3. iran is headmaster pulling this puppet's strings.

4. Syria hypocrisy
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.01.08)
Syria is continuing to march along in two tracks, the track of peace and openness to the West, which made the visit of French President Nicholas Sarkozy possible, and the second track of deepening its involvement with the radical axis and ongoing strengthening and rearming of Hizbullah. Syria is at peace with these two trends and neither track poses a threat [to Syria]. Israel cannot accept Syria as a serious peace partner. More at : http://xrl.us/bjcsd
5. Here's how Bashar can help
Ken ,   USA   (12.01.08)
He can tell the Gazans to free Gilad and stop shooting at Israel. If they follow that advice, end of problem.
6. Assad has Olmert & Obama in his pocket now he wants Europe
zionist forever   (12.01.08)
Olmert running Israel until Febuary Obama coming into the White House in January Bush on his way out looking for a legacy Assad has friends all over the place not he wants to get the Europeans on his side cover all angles so even if Natanyah comes along and spoils any secret deals he might make with Olmert he still has many friends in both the US & Europe. It also gets the leftists on his side because anybody who is against the Gaza seige has got to be a good guy and if they support Assad over his views on Gaza then they will like Assad in his attempt to get the Golan. He wants the world to see him once again as a diplomat the way they did before 9/11 Thanks to Olmert bailing him out from political exedous part of the US axis of evil, Europe didnt like him because of the war on terror & his friendship with Iran and the UN Rafik Harrir investigation. Now he just wants to be seen as a champion of palestinian rights and a peace maker it helps cover the fact that he is the arab leader who supports terror more than any other.
7. Stop the rocket barrage and we start the aid!!!!
Sheila ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (12.01.08)
8. Assad the Merciful!
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (12.01.08)
Assad reminds me of Comodus in the movie Gladiator, who became the emperor by killing his father. He does not have love of people, he does not have the respect of the government. But one thing he does have it is his imagination, but it will be shuttered when Israel is going to finish Damascus and his government.

9. TMT4 - Metatrader EA
Mike Smith ,   Tamuning, Guam   (12.01.08)
TMT4 uses past history of the symbol to build a profile of the movements using a highly sophisticated "genetic algorithm selection" to model past performance. This profile is then exported to MetaTrader 4 and can be used to support your trading. TMT4 uses a highly complex algorithm to create profiles of symbol movements, speculatively modelling and then using a genetic selection process to refine the model over a large number of iterations and variables, allowing an almost infinite flexibility and precision to be achieved. Can I see TMT4 at work? Of course! Download the free trial version and see what it can do for you. However, if you want to get an idea of what TMT4 can do for you, we have prepared a few examples of TMT4 at work for you to have a look at (created with TMT4 external system tester). We have performed a very simple test that you too can try to persuade yourself how accurate TMT4 can be. Examples of the tests can be viewed here. http://www.trendmedium.com/tmt4/
10. I've got a better idea!
Talula ,   Israel   (12.01.08)
Why doesn't the caring peace loving Mr. Assad urge France and the EU to help stop the rocket fire from Gaza into Israel. And then, everything else will fall into place!!!! If Mr. Assad sees himself as the new IT kid in the middle east , he's going to have to learn to see things from both sides. Tze tze tze!!
