Pressure Works
(National Review)David Frum - Is Syria the next Libya? Immediately after 9/11, the Syrian regime stepped forward to offer various kinds of cooperation. The U.S. responded by reassuring Syria that they were not going to be a target of U.S. action in the region - after which the cooperation gradually dribbled away. By 2003, Syria was acting as an ally of Saddam's - and a safe area for the post-Saddam insurgency. Pressure works on a government like Syria's. Let's have more of it please.
