So now we are rescinding some sanctions on Syria? And maybe even Iran? Does this seem like a good idea to anyone? Wouldn't it make sense if they actually did something to justify lifting sanctions, rather than demanding that we apologize for American aggression and pull our troops out of the Middle East, which was Iran's initial response to the Obama Administration's request for dialogue. And keep in mind, all Syria has done in the last few years is assassinate Lebanon's PM, support Hezbollah there, and attempt to build a clandestine nuclear facility (which was destroyed by Israel in an air-strike last year). Oh, and they probably have the remnants of Saddam's WMD programs in some storage bunkers somewhere, seeing as how Assad is Saddam's cousin and all. But don't let that get in the way of peace at any cost! Check the link for a more thorough round-up of Syrian nastiness.
