So what is your opinion of the new friendship between the U.S. and Syria?

I wouldn't trust Syria for one minute. They continue to provide assistance, money and training to Hamas, Hizbullah, and other terrorist groups. They are also increasing their weapons supply and building their military along the Israeli border. In fact, its the biggest build-up since 1973.

Politics makes strange bedfellows and oil provides the lubrication.

I can only hope that Israel sounds the alarm and people (regardless of religion) stand together to oppose American interference in the politics of the Middle East. I have a feeling that the U.S. is once again using the divide and conquer strategy. Wouldn't it be great if the Semitic people stood together and told the U.S. to go home and mind their own business?
