There is a fair amount of wishful thinking in Salem's assessment about the 'unease' in Syria. What he should realize is that the strategic alliance with Iran is 'strategic' and well rooted. Our information indicates that 'talks' with Israel via Turkey are in coordination with Iran. The Turks, for one thing, are not keen on antagonizing the Iranians. There is too much at stake.<BR/>The Syrian Israeli indirect talks are not likely to go anywhere, for someone who reads and understands Israeli politics. Israel's establishment and populace are adamantly against returning the Golan for peace. It is against their nature notwithstanding that the so called peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan are still cold peaces where 'normalization' is not that 'normal'. It is the nature of the Zionist ideology to be in a state of perpetual war, pretty much like the neoconservative thought that has plagued the US Administration during the Bush years. Anyway, it will be quite surprising to see this Administration reverting 180 degrees its stance on Syria and supporting discussions between Syria and Israel. It would be a total repudiation of almost eight years of foolishness, and it is not in the cards.<BR/>For once, the Arabs (here Syria) are playing the traditional game played before 1967 by Israel as a peace loving and seeking country while preparing for war.
