33. Mr. President!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (01.31.11)
Get a life, will you? Not every problem of yours revolves around Israel. What a cheap shot you are.

35. therefore no reason for peace agreement with syria.
ralph   (01.31.11)
just knocked out reason for any peace agreement with syria. cannot trust the regime or country.
36. What is this Dictator going to say
Paul ,   Israel   (01.31.11)
was behind his downfall, when the Syrian people finally wake up. If there is anything still redeemable in that British- made illegitimate country.
37. There starts the finger pointing again!
kez ,   australia   (01.31.11)
Why is it always easier to blame "Israel" for everything bad or unfortunate that's happening in the world?? Arabs or mainly the Muslim countries cannot handle their own internal strife, they'll start finger pointing at another, targeting Israel, mostly, how pathetic!!
38. Newsflash for Syrian Shill Assad: EVERYBODY is hurt by iRAN

39. Blame Israel while you can Assad: you're next
EZ ,   US   (01.31.11)
Syrians r Already planning protests and when the do, damascus will burn and Assad will flee like a dog. The sad thing to all this is that these countries wouldn't know what do do with democracy if it slapped them in the face. Enter the new Nazis: the Muslim brotherhood. Israel is about to be surrounded by a bunch of Somalias. And ofcourse when these nations fail and flounder, they'll play the blame game, vent their anger and blood thirst at Israel and the US while Obama stands by timidly, the US, leaderless. What a world.
40. listen to what the sun of Hama butcher saying
Gaby ,   Boston, MA   (01.31.11)
41. if Assad made peace it would cost him his job
zionist forever   (01.31.11)
He is a dictator and Syrians have it much worse than Egyptians do but what Assad has in his favor is an enemy ( Israel ). Dictators need enemies so they can be the champion of the people against that enemy. If Assad made peace with Egypt he would no longer be there to protect his people and they would start thinking what is this guy doing for us we are fed up with him and want to choose our own leaders.. Also if Israel made peace with Israel it would be seen as a sign of betrayal by Hizbollah. Assad is now making peace with the zionist entity breaking his ties with us (as he would have to do ) Loyal Hizbollah have been fighting the zionist entity all these years while Assad sat back and did very little to help them. He would be looked on as a traitor and they would probably want him dead. So he would either be overthrown by his people of killed by Hizbollah. It was Sadat who made peace and the Egyptians have had 30 years to come to terms with that fact so Mubarak is not the traitor he is just running the country badly and the people want change. I am not even sure its democracy the Egyptians are looking for its just not Mubrak and if another dictator came along but one they liked they are so used to dictatorship they might be content with that. Its Assad who would be damaged by peace with Israel not Mubarak although if the wrong people replace him hostility to Egypt may change.
42. #34 Salma, you only wish
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.01.11)
I've done something you haven't, seen the destroyed Syrian Armor & positions on the Golan You can't appreciate it, because you haven't been there P.S. I'm ex-IDF (Artillery), you're merely a Yentah, playing pretend
43. Mubarak is finished and Israel is declining !!
christianpalestinian ,   las vegas   (02.01.11)
Time is on our side!
44. re: mr assad and his "cowardice"
joel ,   usa   (02.01.11)
this coward mr assad of syria has hollow words that needed no audience, he is using Lebanon to strike israel because he knows israel will smash syria tio pieces if syria strikes israel, what a coward who became servant of Saddam & Khamenei!
45. Assad is safe
Matt   (02.01.11)
He is safe no US military aid, he can crush it like Iran and the US will wave their little finger at him. Buy Russian is the moral of the story.
46. #43; Well your half right
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.01.11)
Mubarak may be finished, time will tell as for Israel declining, sorry...not really...that's wrong. But I've written many times and you just confirmed what I wrote. That Israel is in a war with the Arabs, for them whether it takes 1 year, 100 years or 1000 years their true goal is to destroy Israel. Your remark "time is on our side!" confirms that. As a Christian once the Jewish people are gone you'll be next, your just to stupid to know that. How sad.
