How Syria Helped US in "War on Terror"

punditman says:
Syria, so goes the incessant yammering, is yet another terrorist-supporting-Muslim-dictatorship, that the West can't possible trust. Actually, the following piece, And How Bush Said "Thanks": How Syria Helped US in "War on Terror" has a rather different take on recent history and how this "pariah" state helped save American lives. The author, Jim Abourezk served as US Senator for South Dakota, 1974-1980 and visited Syria about five years ago.
