I've Been Thinking:

Syria and Saudi Arabia are at one another's throats and it has become public.

On Tuesday Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Shara spoke at the University in Damascus and derided the role of Saudi Arabia in the region saying that it is virtually paralyzed.
He also took issue with the fact that Saudi Arabia did not attend a meeting hosted by Damascus about security in Iraq.
Present at that meeting were both the United States and the United Nations.

Saudi Arabia responded via their press and the message was picked up throughout the Arab and Muslim world. The Saudi response used phrases like "lies and fallacies" and "distasteful statements."

Once upon a time, Syria and Saudi Arabia had a civil relationship.
That ended with the 2005 assassination of Rafik Harari, the former prime minister of Lebanon.
Now Saudi Arabia blames Syria for the murder.
