U.S. pressure mounts on Syria
`A war of words is developing between Washington and Damascus, with the U.S. recalling its ambassador to Syria, and Syria shrugging off criticism of its troop presence in Lebanon and U.S. claims that it supports terrorism.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday Syria was “unfortunately on a path right now where relations are not improving, but are worsening”.
Rice did not blame Syria for Monday’s bomb attack that killed Hariri and 16 others, but she did challenge Syria’s longstanding claim that its troops were needed in Lebanon to provide security.’
Of course, the only reasonable thing to do would be to invade Syria to bring Democracy to the people of Lebanon.
