Syrian Power Play
(Washington Post) Charles Krauthammer - Syria's harboring of high officials from Saddam Hussein's government is not an act of Baath Party brotherhood. It's a continuation of Syria's prewar opposition to America's aim to democratize Iraq. Syria is a potential source of fighters, weapons, and logistics for a guerrilla-terrorist campaign to drive America out of Iraq. Syria did precisely that to the U.S. 20 years ago when Syrian-supported Hizballah terrorists blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 and driving America out of Lebanon.
