Here is some interesting commentary I came across via Right Wing News. Senator John Kyl is calling on action against Syria and Iran because of their heedless attempts to reinforce terrorism around Israel and Palestine.

Some have called on President Bush to “seize the moment,” and quickly broker some kind of a deal. But a better approach is to give Abbas time to demonstrate himself whether he will do what is necessary to achieve lasting peace. The United States should instead focus its efforts on areas that the Israelis and Palestinians simply cannot, namely the external factors that could influence whether Palestinian.

Israeli and Palestinian leaders I spoke with agreed that Iran and Syria would continue to use terrorists in the disputed territories and along the Lebanon-Israel border to engage in a proxy war against the Jewish State. While Abbas can do much to stop terror in the territories, the U.S. can help with Iran and Syria.

Syria and Iran are responsible for a lot of the violence in Iraq too. But obviously, they’re more than just a problem for us. Nice to see the rhetoric stepping up come term two.
