Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara said his government was willing to sign a treaty making the entire Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, an Australian broadcaster reported on Wednesday.

In an interview with the Australian government-owned Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), Shara also vigorously denied U.S. allegations that Syria had chemical weapons or had allowed Iraq to hide banned weapons on its soil during the Iraq war.

"The Syrian government is ready to sign a treaty under U.N. supervision to make the whole Middle East a zone free from all mass destruction weapons, nuclear, chemical and biological," he told SBS in an interview in Damascus.

"It is better for the Americans, for the Israelis, for every citizen on earth, especially in the Middle East, and it is good for the American forces in Iraq, to see that the whole Middle East is a zone free from all mass destruction weapons," Shara said.

"Also it is very useful to see this taking place because in this case no terrorist, as the Americans say and some Europeans say, no terrorists can have these mass destruction weapons with them." (Albawaba.com)

This is a letter to the editor from Ish!

Just sent this to the editorial page of the local paper.

Lots of world leaders and lots of our own liberals have branded President Bush as a cowboy. I lean to the right and I brand him the same.

Cowboy. A guy who wakes up in the morning, figures out what's wrong and saddles up or loads his truck and works on fixing it, no matter how bad the conditions are. Just like the other Americans who are linemen, police and firemen, farmers and even byte heads who pull all nighters to fix our computers. Cowboy is an attitude, you don't need to wear spurs to be one.

President Bush saw a problem with Iraq, actually more problems than we'll ever know, and he went in and is solving them. The whole world, outside of Tony Blair, John Howard of Australia, and Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller, who all sent troops, knew the coalition forces would be slaughtered. Several other countries let us use their native soil for bases. We need to remember those countries in the future.

What's happened so far? Saddam and his regime of terror is gone. Iraq can build a government OF and For the people now. A lot of terrorist backing is gone. Syria shifted a little more pro American today. Yep, cowboy Bush cleaned out Iraq and has a whole lot more to say about the terrorism in the Middle East. President Bush is a cowboy? Then saddle up America and get ready to ride.

I was actually responding the false assumption that a percentage in a poll defined whethere the war was a sucess.

I don't buy your main premise that the government is keeping it's goals and accomplishments secret for our own good. Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Large operations leave much information behind and it is just a matter of looking for it.
