I believe, regardless of the plight of palestinians and such, that syrian and iranian regimes are fundamentally not 'for the good', and that there are some justifications for being wary of them, even if not to the extent of elevating them to the apex of badness by labelling them as constituents of axis of evil.
i also remember when bush, or, for that matter, any usa administration would in any case probably have done so, 'looked into the soul' of putin and saw a pal, i had said, gad, these leaders ARE morons, and yet, there is no denying that THEY are ELECTED to be where they can rule by ... folks who know even less!
so, no, i hardly think the syrians and iranians are solutions to anything, other then, to make the mess even more convoluted.
and, so, yes, we are in for it, into the greater mess. |
