I've Been Thinking:

Guess who is visiting Syria on a 2-day business trip?
The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that's who.

Iran and Syria are strategizing and analyzing.
They are figuring out how to deal with the UN and with the Western pressure that is being brought upon them both.
They are determining who they can trust and who they should just ignore.
They are evaluating responses in anticipation of the scenarios that might arise.

Syria and Iran do not speak the same language. They have vastly different religious beliefs. They need translators. Actually, they have little in common.
They are united in their desire to eliminate Israel.
They are united in their support for the Palestinians.
They are united in their distain for the West especially the United States.
They are united because they are both in the crosshairs of the UN and the West and they are now going to be called to task for their unjust deeds.

This working meeting is about strategy and about creating a game plan to outsmart the West. They just might pull it off.
