 Syria's ambassador to the United States on Monday was quoted as calling for ending the "state of war" with Israel. "We offer the big thing ? let's sit together, make peace and finish once and for all this state of war. What could be better than that?"
"We desire to recognise each other and end the state of war," Imad Mustafa told a gathering of activists in Washington allied with Israel's Peace Now movement, in comments aired on Israeli army radio.
"Here is then a grand thing on offer. Let us sit together, let us make peace, let us end once and for all the state of war." The Syrian official added however that any peace agreement would depend on an Israeli pullout from the occupied Golan Heights. "The negotiations are a historic opportunity for Israel to make peace, not just with Syria and Lebanon, but with the whole Arab world," Mustafa stated.

You idiot cant you see what the israelis and the americans are doing. They are dividing and conquering the arabs. They have already destroyed Iraq, now are on a destruction of Iran path...what makes you so special, they already bombed part of Syria just last year. Be men and fight back. |

You have a very big mouth, why don't you live up to your words. Go ahead and grab a gun and attack Israel. You prove how clueless you are on every one of your posts. |

I think the Mideast wants Hussein to win in November. To do that, they need as much peace in their region. Americans don't trust Hussein to protect them. |
