Credulous about Syria
(Washington Times) Editorial - To listen to Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage after his visit to Syria, relations between the U.S. and the regime of Syrian strongman Bashar Assad may have some difficulties but seem to be moving in the right direction. Mr. Armitage's performance was an unfortunate one because the behavior of the Syrian regime does not merit gentle treatment. Syria should be read the riot act for continuing to support Hizballah and Palestinian terrorist groups determined to sabotage the Jan. 9 elections scheduled to take place in the West Bank and Gaza. And Syria continues to subvert Iraq through its support of the terrorist insurgency there.
