Is Syria next?
Charles Glass reports from Damascus
"Iraq has become an American protectorate, and America has told Syria that it must, like a rare breed of bird, adapt to the new environment or die. The Syrian Army and Intelligence Services are playing their own imperial game in Lebanon, but their presence there has become as vulnerable to American subversion as America's forces are to indigenous resistance - with or without Syrian and Iranian encouragement - in Iraq." http://www.lrb.co.uk/v25/n14/glas01_.html
