I've Been Thinking:

What is wrong with the EU?
The European Union is pushing ahead and rewarding Syria when what Syria really needs right now is to have more pressure brought upon them.

The United States is asking the EU to suspend the Association Agreement with Syria which allows for expanded trade in exchange for progress on issues of democracy and human rights.
The EU thinks that because Syria redeployed from Lebanon and evacuated troops, it is enough of a gesture to start normalizing relations.

Wrong. Silly. Foolish. Ignorant.

Syria is not totally out of Lebanon.
Syria has not sealed their border with Iraq.
Syria houses and sponsors numerous anti-Israel and anti-American terror groups.

The EU just does not get it. Keep the pressure on Syria. Do not let up!
