| Arab News: US and Israel Gunning for Syria |
| 2004-09-20 |
| Hassan Tahsin The objectives pursued by the UN Security Council seem to have changed. Instead of working to solve international conflicts through peaceful means and safeguard world peace and security, the Council is now threatening UN member countries with invasion, occupation or at least sanctions. It is all done in compliance with orders from the big powers who are only interested in pursuing their own interests. Our region has seen a few examples in recent weeks. Sudan was threatened with military intervention and toppling of its government. Then came Lebanon, which too was threatened with sanctions for no reason other than that of exercising its right as a sovereign nation to amend its constitution with the approval of its Parliament. Next was Syria, which was also threatened with military intervention and sanctions if it did not withdraw its forces from Lebanon. What was forgotten was that the forces were there at the request of the Lebanese government and Parliament. Everyone in the Arab world is now asking if there is going to be a war and when. All indications are that Israel, led by a warmonger like Ariel Sharon, is finding the time ripe to launch a strike against those Arab countries that oppose its terrorism against Palestinians. It would exploit the fear of terrorism currently gripping the world and America's hostility for Arab and Muslim countries to launch its war. |

| #6 I certainly hope so. Although, I think nailing the bug stomping, mouth foaming, nut cases in Tehran is higher priority. |

| #5 The path to peace would be assassination of Assad and any of his successor(s) who doesn't: withdraw all Syrian soldiers from Lebanon, capture and deliver Paleo-terrorists to Israel, seal the border with Iraq, and follow Lybia's steps in dismantling all WMD programmes. If the Syrians don't want freedom for themselves, or keep electing and harbouring terrorist enablers, the Axis of Good should teach them an assassination lesson -- until they learn to respect our freedom. But I believe the Syrian people would want the kind of freedom and prosperity the Iraqi people are building right now. |

| #4 "Saddam Hussein was hated in the Arab world..." Oh, really? I suspect if you look back a year, you will find a lot of support for him from people like Mr. Tahsin. It's only after he was defeated and humiliated that these people turned on him. I predict that if we liberate Syria, a year later, Boy Assad would be "hated," too. |
