Re: A series of stern US warnings seems only to have hardened Syria's position. Arab League Warns U.S. Over Syria and Iran Mon Mar 31, 4:38 PM ET CAIRO (Reuters) - Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said on Monday any U.S. military action against Syria or Iran would wreak havoc in the Middle East and elsewhere. The United States has warned Syria and Iran -- both labeled by Washington as state sponsors of terrorism -- not to meddle in the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Moussa said in a BBC interview that if the United States took the war across Iraq's borders to Syria or Iran, it would result in a "mess." "It would sow havoc all over the Middle East and the Mediterranean, it would reach borders that you can't imagine." he said. Moussa poured scorn on any suggestion the U.S.-led war in Iraq could bring democracy to the country by ousting President Saddam Hussein. "Do you think that democracy will come to Iraq on a B-52? Or on the back of a tank? Or with the armored division?" he said. The United States said last week it would hold the Syrian government accountable for reported shipments of night vision goggles and other military equipment to Iraq, calling them "hostile acts." Washington also said armed Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim forces supported by Iran were inside Iraq and would be considered combatants if they interfered with U.S. or British forces. Syria has dismissed the allegations, saying Washington was trying to divert attention from "war crimes" committed against Iraqi civilians. Iran branded the U.S. accusations as propaganda and reiterated its neutrality on what it called a meaningless conflict. story.news.yahoo.com
