US Pushes Syria Into Alliance With Iran

How the Bush administration was able to get the highly secular Syria to form an alliance with the Islamist government of Iran is beyond me. How this makes America safer is also beyond me.

Iran and Syria, who both are facing pressure from the United States, said Wednesday they will form a "united front" to confront possible threats against them, state-run television reported.

"In view of the special conditions faced by Syria, Iran will transfer its experience, especially concerning sanctions, to Syria," Mohammad Reza Aref, Iran's first vice president, was quoted as saying after meeting Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otari.

"At this sensitive point, the two countries require a united front due to numerous challenges."

Perhaps this means the "Axis of Evil" to which the President refered a few years ago will actually come to fruition. Nice work, GWB.
