It is bound to attract some attention when Assad hands over 30 thugs from the ranks of Saddam Hussein to the newly elected democratic government of Iraq - thugs that, I might add, are every bit as Ba'athist (or: an Arab version of nationalistic socialism) as the government of Syria. And whereas it's not exactly noteworthy that Sharon threatens Syria, a Dutch news broadcast reported that even the Palestinians seem to be losing their patience with Assad. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a secondary source on this, and therefore it should be considered apocryphal for now.
