Syria blames the US....

It's not as if the Syrians do anything to encourage terrorism.

Syria's embassy in Washington accused the United States of fueling extremism, terrorism and anti-US sentiment in the Middle East, following a foiled attack on the US embassy in Damascus.

"It is regrettable that US policies in the Middle East have fueled extremism, terrorism and anti-US sentiment," the statement, issued by the Syrian embassy in Washington said.

"What has happened recently in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and Iraq is exacerbating the fight against global terrorism.

"The US should take this opportunity to review its policies in the Middle East and start looking at the root causes of terrorism and broker a comprehensive peace in the Middle East."

How ridiculous! Do they honestly believe that Israel is the cause of terrorism and that peace in the middle east would stop it?
