Wil's Rant

Syria has now joined Iran in a contest over who can deliver the most deranged and irresponsible speeches. Syria has entered the game with this initial offering in which an official at the U.N. has called the recently murdered Lebanese writer a dog. I have to score this speech fairly low on the insanity meter. Not a bad first effort but he'll have to study the Iranian's work more closely if he wants to take the title.

Speaking of Iran, the President's recent comments about Israel have generated some of the expected animosity. Many are expressing their anger over the man's words. Israel is taking this opportunity to point out danger posed by this new President and are preparing to respond if, or rather, when it escalates to that level. Judging by the pace of events so far, it may not be long.
