Hello Reliapundit (and Pastorius),

OT - regarding Syria/Lebanon:

At TCS, Michael Totten argues that Khaddam is MOST DEFINITELY NOT the guy we would want to replace Assad

Useful getting there, maybe, but a disaster otherwise.

P.S. Love your work :)

totten is a weenie.
as for khgaddam: when i first suggested he form a govt in exile - a week before he announced it - i made it clear that it would be ONLY abridge to the next step.

a useful bridge which might help keep syrai from devolving into chaos as iraq did for a while.

1st khaddam, then a intl conference to help all opposition parties and all factions wqithin syria begin self-government like we did for afghanistan (a conf was held in berlin, i think).

then we can trans them into a constitution and elections like in iraq and afghanistan.

so khaddam can be a useful bridge.
along with the army.

i hope condi is aggressively seeking assad's quick voluntary exit/exile from the scene. with the help of mubarak and the saudis and others.

or tell him to go to iran.

let him go anywhere he wants with a pardon and with some money if he goes i the next month/before 3/1/06.


then get khaddam to be interim pres while they have conventions.
