Syria Update

This is a link to a Fresh Air interview regarding Syria. While the guest is probably a little too establishment for my tastes, he raises some good points and gives a good overview of the region and the dangers of an ever expanding conflict.

For those of us who remember the Lebanese Civil War was a terrible episode. "Beirut" was always the proverbial city of violence and chaos.

Ironically the entire region was fairly stable...until March 2003.
