Solana: EU backs Syria's goal to regain Golan Heights
 The European Union supports Syria's goal of regaining the occupied Golan Heights from Israel, the EU foreign policy chief said after meeting President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday.At least they're consistent. They supported Syria's adventurism that lost them the Golan Heights. "We would like to work as much as possible to see your country Syria recuperate the territory taken in 1967," Javier Solana told a joint news conference with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem. "But you don't have to make any concessions or modify your behavior in any way at all, so don't worry." Syria has made it clear that its cooperation to help end violence in Iraq was tied to Western, especially U.S., backing for its peaceful campaign to regain the Golan Heights, which Israel occupied during the Middle East war four decades ago.
