What is the source of the hostility between the US and Syria?

[JackNewtown]

How did Syria become a de facto member of the new "axis of evil"? What has it ever done to America?

1. IMO the source is Israel. n/t

2. Any right-winger will tell you

That they allowed Saddam to hide his WMD's in Syria before we invaded Iraq.

3. PNAC n/t

4. Syria has financed and supported many terrorist groups over the years

And served as a Russian client state for many years as well during the Cold War.

The recent issues have to do with accusations they are supplying and allowing the supply of several of the various Iraqi terrorist/resistance factions.

The USA has a terrible history of foreign intervention on the thinnest of excuses. All lies all of the time. :(

10. What about Belarus, Zimbabwe, and Myanmar? nt

12. They are lower on the PNAC list but I your point is very good

It is amazing how many "enemies" the world's lone superpower has despite having unparalleled power and an ocean, continents between most of its "enemies."
