Syria Praises Obama’s Kept Promises
Syrian Ambassador, Bashar Ja’afari, praised Obama’s announcement that he planned on making good on a promise that he made one of the major platforms of his presidential campaign: to withdraw troops from Iraq in sixteen months.
This shows a level of respect and acknowledgment of the wishes of the people of the Middle East. In addition, President Elect-Obama promised no more air-strikes like the one that killed eight innocent Syrian civilians last month in an attempt to take out a mercenary smuggler into Iraq.
Is this the sign of a new and healthy relationship with the Mid-East?
I hope so.
