    Iran and Syria in secret conference

    I've just read that the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad has unexpectedly landed in Tehran and since then is in a closed-doors meeting with the Iranian government.

    What issues are they going over?
    Probably:

    Possible scenarios and outcomes of war.
    Effects of war on ME power balance.
    What to do with Hezballah regarding Israel (Hezballah again began firing anti-aircraft and anti-tank shells on Israeli cities).

    And possibly how to use Hezballah against the US (Hezballah promised to avenge the war against american interests)
    (Saddam said the same)

    Piss-poor secret meeting, if you know of it, Siro.

      Israeli intelligence is rather good.

              They are terrified of Democracy in the Middle East.A successful democracy in Iraq will have a domino effect on its neighbors,espically if Iraq comes out prospering and advancing as a people.It will show the rest of the Islamic countrys how to throw off ruling parties,Royal Familys and dictatorships.
              They(Syria & Iran) know the MiddleEast is set to implode upon itself very soon and are weighing the possibilities of convincing the US & British of a joint transition effort without exporting democracy to Iraq's neighbors.Otherwise they will be on the outside of influence in the ME.

                Some such news network did an interview with the founder/leader of Hezbollah, and he was back tracking about his US comments. Seemed a bit scared about being called on those statements on an American network.

                  You're right on target there! If I were the Syrians, I wouldn't worry too much about anything the Iranian govt. had to say, they're gonna be the first out of there. The Iranian people have turned into major democrats over the last 20 years. They've had enough of Clerical repression. Given a choice between Sharia and freedom, people choose freedom everytime.

                  Also, look at the language of Iranian dissent, it's always counched interms of democracy. If you're looking for democratic ripe fruit in the Middle East, Iran is it.

                  The problem in the middle east is oil. All you have to do is pump it out of the ground, you don't have to tap the resources of your people, educate them and prepare them for the 21st century. Drill a well and you're rich. Look at countries without these resources, Japan for instance, they tapped their people to bring them into the new century.

                    Iraq wont become a Demcracy, even though Iraqis will continue to have more freedoms than other Arabs. There certainly wont be a domino effect, because there is too much anti-US sentiment in the ME.

                      Why do you say that Iraq will not become a democracy?

                        Because of all the ethnic conflict. Picture the US before the Civil Rights Movement except the minorities are more violent.

                          Democracy isn't simply people getting the right to vote. Democracy is the government caring for the people, doing things for them. Voting is simply a tool designed to get the government to listen to the people. If, voting notwithstanding, the government fails to listen, it's not really democracy.

                            And voting can be a tool for policies that are hostile towards minority groups.
