Extremism?

More Perles of wisdom: France is just awful, and Syria's next. (from Raye).

I'm not an Arab living in the Middle East, but when I read and hear about a US Administration "warning" Syria, I start wondering just what the objective may be. On "Meet the Press" this morning I heard the following exchange:

MR. RUSSERT: Do you believe there’s a potential of war between the United States and Syria?

AMB. MOUSTAPHA: No, I do not believe this. I’ll tell you why. Because we believe that the American values and we believe in American fairness. We don’t think that extremist people will further push the agenda.

Don't hold your breath, pal.

He does sound a tinge idealistic.

Either that or he doesn't recognize the US has extremists running the foreign policy agenda.

Well, most Americans don't either, so he's in good company.

Gee, they *may* not stop after Iraq? They *may* go for Syria next? - HAR. They've only been planning it from the get-go! (I believe)...

What a "surprise" to learn that Syria might "become a problem." Sheesh!
