		<description><![CDATA[The thing about Assad that no one wants to admit is that he is a rational, prudent man. One of the reasons he is so popular in Syria is that under his leadership the people were getting a glimpse of a civilized future: The tolerance and indeed the honoring of many other religions and minority groups; equal rights for women; openess to trade and tourism; hugh investments in education and health care; growing freedoms with new technology; steady political and economic reforms to name a few. What Assad understands and the US does not is that it will take a generation to make the changes necessary for stable democracies to take root. We go in, wipe out a country, leave total chaos and hope that in a few decades it will all get sorted out. He was taking a better road to the same outcome. And BTW - isn&#039;t it odd that the ones funding and arming the rebels are none other than Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Those pillars of human rights, freedom, and democracy? All they want is to eliminate the competition for pipelines and to establish Wahhabi Islam throughout the region. Why are we helping them? Because we believe their lies while securing huge oil and gas deals for our petrol businesses. This keeps our military busy so we can justify our defense spending - and I&#039;m for a strong defense - just not at the cost of shredding nations for no worthy reason. We need to understand some things. 1) is that NO Mideast government wants Israel on the map - Iran isn&#039;t the only one - and Syria is one of the few that talks of normal relations with Israel and 2) that the Muslim Brotherhood&#039;s goals and democracy are completely at odds - they cannot coexist. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt, with Assad staying where he is, Israel has less of an unknown to deal with than with jihadi offshoots of the Brotherhood Mafia taking his place. The fact of the matter is that Assad, even though he is Israel&#039;s mortal enemy, as well as Iran&#039;s cat paw, was restrained enough (ever since Syria lost the Golan, during the Yom Kippur War) to keep their mutual border quiet. As such, Israel dealt with each proxy as it arose. However, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra et al have no such &quot;reservations&quot;. There fore, the border will become hotter than hot, even as they plot via surrogates too.  
In any case, let us place the onus where it belongs, as to the sudden Mid East conflagrations - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/04/07/the-potuss-miscalculations-are-driving-n-korean-iranian-bellicosity-almost-to-the-brink-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/04/07/the-potuss-mi...&lt;/a&gt;
