Connect the Dots...

Is Ariel Sharon the man at the head of the secretive Bush/neo-con cartel? It sure looks that way...

1. Isreal announces they are renewing their policy of assasinating people within other countries.

2. Following recent assasinations by Israel, the most senior Hamas leader is now living in exile in Syria.

3. US claims Syrians are increasingly involved in Iraq fighting, as skirmishes move closer to the Syrian border and US accuses Syria of failing to control it's border.

Juan Cole says: "If they think Iraqi instability is bad, wait until they see Syria without a proper government in Damascus. It won't be pretty; and remember, as Colin says, if you break it, you own it. Doesn't the US have enough responsibilities right now? Anyway, remember that the most powerful policy makers in Washington right now are warmongers. They don't think Iraq is a catastrophe, and they have several further wars they want to fight before they sleep. The rest of us should try to make sure they don't pull the country down into a further quagmire or two."
