ASSAD MUST DIE:

Attack on U.S. Embassy car kills 3 near Beirut (Nada Bakri, January 15, 2008, IHT)

A bomb evidently meant to destroy a U.S. Embassy car exploded as the vehicle passed by Tuesday, narrowly missing the car but wounding its Lebanese driver and a fellow passenger and killing at least three civilians traveling in the car behind, according to local reports, aid workers at the scene and State Department officials in Washington.

Any response less than changing the regime in Syria is craven.

Excellent timing. This will take the heat of the battle of the Panderosi.

Assad "knows" that Pres. Bush doesn't dare do anything in response during his last year in office. Expect Syria and Iran to do something catastrophically stupid sometime in the next 9 months or so...

The UN is already close to 'convicting' Syria for Hariri's murder. There have been many others since then. If Bush has the guts to toss Damascus, the peace deal he wants between the Palis and the Israelis will get signed a whole lot sooner.
