did you read this part ted.

Arab affairs expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar, of the BESA Center for Strategic Studies near Tel Aviv, said the visit had more to do with domestic American issues than Middle East peacemaking efforts.

"[Pelosi] understands nothing in the Middle East," he told Cybercast News Service, describing the visit as "a hammer to hit President Bush."

Kedar said Pelosi is trying to force a return to the former U.S. foreign policy of appeasing Mideast dictators. If she succeeds, she will reverse the positive changes that have already occurred in the drive to promote human rights and democracy, he argued.

Kedar noted that Syria is Iran's key ally, and said without Syria, Iran would not be able to export its Islamic revolution to Lebanon or Iraq.

Syria is a conduit for Iranian shipments of missiles and weapons to Hizballah, which opposes the pro-Western government in Beirut. Washington has also accused Syria of allowing anti-coalition insurgents to cross its borders into Iraq.

"Thanks to Syria and Iran, thousands of American soldiers were killed in Iraq," Kedar said. "And now, Pelosi is willing to appease them."

Kedar also raised the international investigation that has found evidence of Syrian involvement in a string of political assassinations of prominent anti-Syrian politicians in Lebanon in recent years.

He predicted that Damascus would view the easing of pressure as a license to carry out more assassinations in Lebanon.
