Syria has thrown Saddam’s half-brother under the bus. The good eye-doctor that is Syria’s dictator appears to be feeling some pressure. It seems the Syrians arrested Saddam’s half-brother and some 30 of his associates and then turned them over to the Iraqis.
I would not call that a sign of strength. George Bush’s “Freedom Offensive†seems to be having an effect.
Even Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak is talking about having freer presidential elections – as opposed to a yes or no vote.
Iraq has suddenly gone from a quagmire to a beacon of light for many oppressed people of the world.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of hard slogging and dying left to do. Evil does not give up easily and without a fight.
But evil persists when good men fail to act.
