Axis of Evil

I don't want to jump on the war bandwagon -- not yet, anyway -- but Yahoo is reporting that Syria and Iran have announced intentions to "build a common front." And though I lean left (as you all know), I have always acknowledged that these two countries are bad news. This was important enough to me that I am leaching time away from my lunch hour to post this.

They are creating a common front because they have a common enemy. We have created possibly more problems with how we have gone about this entire Middle East situation from the very beginning.

Aurelius, thank you for being a regular reader. Iran and Syria are countries that sponsor and encourage terrorism and anti-U.S. and Israel stances. The U.S. has policies that anger many in the Middle East. For example, we supported the Shah in Iran, and he was no saint, but he was a U.S. puppet.

However, I would caution you against getting your news from us, while we are well informed we are not reporters or journalists, simply pundits offering our opinions on the news and we are hopeful providing you with something else to ponder. While we think we are being fair, we know that our leanings are to the left of the current powers that be.
