He seems to be begging for a fight. Why now?<BR/><BR/>If he has trouble at home, the best way to deflect blame and unite the people is to engage the number one enemy - Israel, even if on a limited scale. He certainly does not want all out war.<BR/><BR/>With the Hariri tribunal coming, Assad has already hired British international lawyers. But, again, how best to distract the world from a tribunal than with a little conflict with Israel.<BR/><BR/>And should that conflict spill into Lebanon (very likely), well, so much the better for Assad. Once again, let Lebanon pay the real price.<BR/><BR/>Not sure where Hariri is heading with this statement, but Assad looks poised to create some sort of international/regional conflict should he start to feel the heat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
