Lebanon, Gaza, and the Syrian-Iranian Axis

[Mark O'Neill]

Do you believe that Syrian and Iran are not working together to furhter their interests in the Middle East, and do you believe that Syria and Iran are both funding/supporting Hamas and Hezbollah?

There are four different propositions and a double negative in that question, what exactly are you saying?

The 'expert' that you cite works at a partisan think tank in Washington. Do you suppose that there is any chance that this might influence his opinions ? (and I use the word 'opinion' deliberately).

Your statement implies that there is somehow something weird about sovereign states working to further their interests. How many sovereign states can you name that do not?

I am just curious as to what the point of your thread is - or did Walrus hit the mark in his post?
