Blair Murders Anti-Syrian Christian Leader Pierre Gemayel
The title is a little extreme, but stay with me and I think you'll see it
holds. PM Tony Blair recently made international headlines by suggesting that the West needed to work with Iran and Syria on the issue of Iraq.
Then, what comes a short while later? An Anti-Syrian politican in Lebanon is gunned down.
Ah, the nature of compromise. A little quid pro quo. Just as the overthrow of Saddam and the establishment of an Iraqi constitution was a slap in the face to Syria, which led to the people of Lebanon kicking out the Syrian military, which, like the Libyan surrender of its weapons program was a major plus to the whole Iraq operation, now, Blair is being offered a choice. Throw Lebanon under the bus, and maybe we can reach a compromise on Iraq. People who call for diplomacy sometimes forget that it isn't all flowery pretty speeches in French at the UN. Much of the world conducts diplomacy in millimeters, either 5.56 of 7.62.
So what do you think Mr. Blair? Do you have a counter offer, or is Pierre Gemayel simply the price of doing business?

Than yesterday the Syrians send their first minister level official to Iraq since Saddam was ousted from power.He said that he had a message for Tehran and Damascus: “If you are prepared to be part of the solution, there is a partnership available to you. But at the moment, and this is particularly so in respect of what Iran is doing in supporting terrorism throughout the Middle East and acting in breach of its nuclear weapons obligations, you are behaving in such a way that makes such a partnership impossible.”
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem arrived in IraqSo far so good right? Blair made them an offer, and the Syrians move to establish relations with Iraq in a move described as " a move that could stem some of Iraq's unrelenting violence." Brilliant diplomacy Mr.Blair.
on Sunday in the first such visit by a senior Syrian official since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. He was expected to return to Damascus later Tuesday
