The aggressive stance toward Syria, which certainly supports terrorism aimed at Israel but has a less definite connection to terrorism aimed at the US, will inevitably strengthen the perception in some quarters that Bush is acting on behalf of the Israelis. Those who believe that the Israelis were behind 9/11 believe that already. Syria's connection to Hizbullah is definite enough, and Hizbullah is opening branch offices in South and North America. Also, I don't think the Marines have forgotten their dead from 1983.

From the IHT article: <<<But Powell sought to quell fears that, as some in the region have said, Syria might be "next on the list" for military attention after Iraq. "There is no list, there is no war plan right now to attack someone else either for the purpose of overthrowing their leadership or for the purpose of imposing democratic values," >>> Notice the limitation on reasons we will not attack. So threats to attack for other reasons may still exist, which puts extreme pressure on Syria to give up the Terrorists on their soil which is the most likely end game . Sig.
