| I summarily ignored their aid because it has nothing to do with the current situation. The aid could have been buddy-buddy money to get us to remember it for later times like now; it could have also been genuine aid for which I will thank them. Either way, though, we don't need to be putting up with any of their terrorism shit, regardless of how much money they donated to starving kids in Africa.
And we have plenty of time to lose by talking to Syria. They've made it known that they want not only a cease-fire, but also land and Israel's release of prisoners. I'm quite glad that the administration has stood so firmly against the idea of dealing with terrorists. Secretary Rice has already said that there will be no solution to the conflict until Hezbollah is destroyed. Since Syria has no intention of furthering this end, they have no reason to come to talks discussing it.
