The Truth About Syria by Barry Rubin, FPRI (Foreign Policy Research Institute), June 2007
“Talking” with Syria is not “a risk-free proposition”: “If the West wants a stable Lebanon or to avoid more Lebanon-Israel wars it has to battle Syria, not make a deal with it. [….] Those who call for engaging Syria and giving it concessions are only helping the worst dictatorship in the Arab world and the leading Arab sponsor of terrorism in the post-9/11 world. [….] When someone extends its hand in offered friendship, they [Syria and Iran’s regimes] interpret this as hands raised in surrender.”
