DAMASCUS, Jul 21 (IPS) - The daily Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and the floods of refugees pouring in have set off a wave of anger through Syria.

This will also be Israel's loss, he said. "The Lebanese, our brothers, have now lost everything. And now the Israelis have lost what friendship they may have had left with the Arab world

Anger is spilling over against the U.S. government - and its citizens. Ola Saleh, a 25-year-old civil rights volunteer from Latakia said: "In Syria people used to differentiate between the Bush regime and the American people. But now not only do Syrians not respect the Bush regime, they no longer respect the American people for allowing this to happen."

Few believe that the Israeli attack is a reaction to the abduction of two soldiers. "Israel has a political and military strategy, they do not react," said 60-year-old Ibrahim Yakhour, information and communications advisor at the State Planning Commission in Damascus.

Others, like 45-year-old literary critic Emad Huria, believe that Syria will inevitably become involved in the conflict. "The whole region is now involved," he told IPS. "If not today, then tomorrow

Ali finally told this correspondent: "We welcome you to Syria. We welcome you to Damascus. But don't kick me from my house." (END/2006)

1. they no longer respect the American people for allowing this to happen."

It used to be just the Bush* Cabal but now it is all Americans the world has learned to hate.

[bdamomma]

14. Now see what bush has done in our name

we are lumped into this conflict now.

[lovuian]

15. Its because Congress 98 % agreed to support the action

that we are lumped into the whole mess!!!

2. Ingrates. Don't they realize that the killing is for their own good?

Just ask Israel and the American government.

11. This is scarey thinking.

[Dover]

3. And Syria is next......

That's why they are neutralizing Lebanon's defenses and infrastructure. In preparation for an invasion of Syria (by the US/UK/Israel).

[lovuian]

4. Syria better get ready because they are going to pay for the

supprt they have given Hezbahlah and they know it...

Kinda like the kid getting caught in the cookie jar

the punishment is coming...and they know it

[Dover]

8. I think it's mainly about positioning by (Israel/U.S./UK) to take on Iran

and prevent development of Syrian/Iranian partnership in the region. Hezbollah is secondary.

The bigger picture:

12. Agreed, the PNAC plan is on its way even with their chaotic failures.

[lovuian]

13. Oh Ya I agree guys this IS about IRAN... And Iran is at war

here cause Bush has told everybody and their brother that US doesn't want Iran's prez in there anymore

Israel and US want regime changes like Iraq if the people can't do it well the Military will do it

Its very simple...really in the PNAC mind

but its such a tremendously complicated spider web in reality

who is the prey???

[still_one]

5. Syria is such an even handed broker

lets ignore their assasinations of Lebanonize politicians, and their occupation of Lebanon

[lovuian]

6. They are going to pay and they know it

They know they are guilty and I think they are saying bring it on

I don't see fear... I see anger...
those are two different emotions

[High Plains]

9. Tell me about "even handed brokers"

Do you mean like Washington?

[soleft]

7. Makes me wonder if this was the end game the whole time

And the point of taking out Iraq was to remove Sadaam from any possible alliance with Syria and Iran.

[lovuian]

10. I agree this has always been about breaking the alliance

of Syria and Iran... and getting posession of one of the worlds most precious treasures

OIL...

Syria has been a major player in the disruption of the area for sometime...
