Time for Israel to wake up and smell the coffee. Opression leads to agression. Israel has been opressing for long time, and the emmigrants DO NOT KNOW WHATS BEST FOR ISRAEL......

Is not what you did earlier on,did you?

This is an entirely reasonable request, unlike all other American allies who have run to send envoys... It's also generally a good idea, because put simply all it's doing is strengthening Assad and his terrorists position. Just look at commenter's 1-3, these aren't people who would be known as US supporters in general... and I doubt most American's would want there want 'support' or what it would cost America in terms of civil liberties or morality.

positions in the same way..." They could be brothers, someone should check their DNA.

Who is Israel to tell us what to do. This is our ambassador. The more we alienate people the more they are going to look for other freinds. There is no reason for ASSAD to move away from TEHRAN. Just like we give everything to ISrael tehran gives everything to Syria

your a fool the big different is the assad is bringing to his table terrorist that do not want peace. by sending the US ambassador to syria it is like the US is in agreement with the iranian and the terrorists

OOOpps.....I mean his cousin Barak Obama. We are an asylum run by the criminally insane. The whole world is getting primed for another World War. All the idiots are coming out of the wood work just like before WWII. They all have some grandious plan on exterminating the Jews again......and winning a World War. Sampson is right around the corner.

I realize at least Assad and so Nasralah and so Ahmajahad at least have shown the world America Israel they are friends brother Arabs standing togather against Israel and so Western imperialist powers and so I congratulate them for having the courage to show this WTG way to go next step is war with Israel RIGHT is that possible considering the odds favor Israel but miracles do happen for Arabs as well as the J*wish people why not God created the Arabs also too RIGHT I am not a falsely narowed minded delusionist out to trick the J*wish and so the Arabs I hope they may unite deal with the Western imperialist powers who want them to destroy each other so they may move in take away both J*wish and so Arab lands RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.

Irrespective of the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel’s existence, the ties with Iran constitutes – for the ruthless Assad regime – an indispensable financial, diplomatic and military means of survival. The Syria-Iran axis bolsters Assad’s policies on the most critical fronts: Domestic, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, Russia and the USA. Assad’s fundamental interests conflict with fundamental US values and interests. More about the Assad family at : http://xrl.us/bjcsd
