Syria and Lebanon
Today in the Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer writes about the true Evil Axis affecting the Democratic campaign in the Middle East. America's focus needs to redirected to Syria where a true dagger in the Terrorist heart can be inflicted. Harsh words to use but "when in Rome......"
Syria and the New Axis of Evil (washingtonpost.com) "As Iraq, in fits and starts, begins finding its way to self-rule, the center of gravity of the Bush Doctrine and the American democratization project shifts to Lebanon/Syria. The rapid evacuation and collapse of the Syrian position in Lebanon is crucial not just because of what it will do for Lebanon but because of the weakening effect it will have on the Assad dictatorship. We need, therefore, to be relentless in insisting on a full (and as humiliating as possible) evacuation of Syria from Lebanon, followed by a campaign of economic, political and military pressure on the Assad regime. We must push now and push hard."
