Skepticism toward Bush claims about Syria and North Korea
Many media accounts simply repeat uncritically the rather dubious accusations of the administration.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-04-25]

  • Israel and Syria

    Attacking another country is an act of war ... Let's see: how many times in the past 60 years has Syria attacked Israel with the announced intent of wiping it from the map? Have Syria and Israel ever made peace? Has Syria continued to support terrorist attacks against Israel? Is this not also an act of war?

    Israel has nuclear weapons and wants to prevent its enemies from obtaining nuclear weapons? If I were Israel -- a tiny country surrounded by much larger countries whose announced intent is to wipe it from the map -- I would do precisely the same.

    This is not to say that all of Israel's actions have been moral or just or wise -- quite obviously, they have not been. But this one is.
