Subject: Turn Syria away from Iran??
dante    7/21/2006 4:15:51 AM
Rather than overthrowing the Assad dictatorship does it make more sense to buy them out? Syria is a cheap prostitute of a regime. The Soviets owned them, then Saddam and now the Iranians. The West could easily out bid the Iranians. In return, Iran would be completely isolated, Hezbollah would be cut off from Tehran, and Jihadists would have a tougher time getting into Iraq. We wooed Egypt away from the Soviets in the 70s. The real enemy is Iran. They are the true threat.

I don't think Egypt was wooed so much as Sadat became disgruntled with the Soviets and threw them out. SC-
