Not exactly. The US and Libya have disliked each other since the late 18th century, and the US's first foreign war was fought against Tripoli. In Syria's case, there are far more variables, but it comes down to the only way Syria's tiny ruling Shia minority can keep a lid on things is to blame every problem the country has on foreign powers (usually neighbouring Israel and the US) and encourage its problem children to go deal with these foreign powers rather than addressing the incredible level of oppression, corruption and incompetence on the part of it's Ba'ath Arab Socialist government. It comes down to a lot more than money. History and pride usually, which is a much bigger problem with Arab nations (lots of pride, very little to justify it. A sort of national inferiority complex). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
