Apparently, Syria is quite happy to see Mubarak in Egypt go, as they have always felt he was more aligned with the West and moderate views, than those of Islam. Is that really true? Some would suggest Mubarak, was not a lover of America or Israel, rather doing what needed to be done for Egypt's tourist trade, economic development, and simply getting along with its neighbors.
Still if Syria is so happy to see Mubarak go, and we know Syria is rather hostile on odd-even days with the West, exactly what do they have in mind? What opportunity are they seeking, what do they have up their sleeve, and what's it to them? Do they see the Muslim Brotherhood joining in the political process more, or other groups taking over, or returning Egypt to more of a anti-US and anti-Israel state? Some in Syria see Egypt as a traitor to the Arab world, at least under Mubarak.
Well, if Syria is joyous in the overthrow Military Coup of Mubarak in Egypt, then I ask why? But, alas, I think I know why. After all, Mubarak was friends to the US for 30-years and he had kept peace with Israel too. Syria is not friends with Israel, nor are the some 10 major radical Islamic terrorist groups which call Syria their home, along with some of the leadership of both Hamas, and Hezbollah.
Indeed, there was a rather interesting article in the Winnipeg Free Press not long after Mubarak was taken out of power titled; "Syria hails the fall of Egypt's Mubarak, calls it the end of the "Camp David" regime" written by the Associated Press and posted to their website the day of publication February 12, 2011. In that piece were some rather strong geo-political hard liner comments about how Egypt had turned on their Arab Brothers, and Islam by siding with the West and the Jews.
It seems that there is more hate in the world and the Arab World than anyone might have imagined and there is much more hard work ahead to bring peace in the Middle East. Indeed, many members of our Think Tank do not believe there will ever be peace in the Middle East, me being amongst them.
Cynical - yes, I suppose, but with past and present history as the foundation of this argument, I'd challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Wishing a world of peace, or posting demands of peace on the Internet or on Blogs online, or Tweeting your little rear-end off is not going to be enough to see peace in the present period, trust me. Please consider all this.
