Interesting to see all the prejudices since Syria is part of the "Axis of Evil". The government is relatively secular.

[/ QUOTE ] i don't think they cracked the axis of evil, i thought that was iran iraq n korea, but i could be mistaken. Syria certainly has its faults, but it's not the madhouse that people seem to think it is.

So sick of the American prejudice on these countries. A portion of their land is occupied by a US close ally, it is no wonder they aren't too friendly towards US politically .

Not sure what prejudices you speak of, but I didnt realize that a secular government equated to good governance. Would you like examples of secular governments gone bad?

For starters, Syria [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Just don't like the "we have a conflict with them=they must have sharia law" - prejudice.

It doesn't come across well over the Internet, but I made that joke in an ironic fashion, making fun of the fact that that stereotype exists, not making fun of Muslims or Syria.

Gotta love the ignorant European attitude. Do you have any knowledge of modern Syrian history at all? Syria is one of the vilest countries in that part of the world. Their overt state sponsorship of terrorism became such an issue that even their closest ally, the Soviet Union, was forced to distance itself from Syria in the 80's. Now if your international policies are so violent that even the Soviets are embarrassed by them....you have a problem.

But my guess is you're looking at this through the same myopic lens that most Europeans do. If so, don't worry about anything and just be happy that you have a big brother that will protect you.
