The Speaker of the house is in Syria and there is a huge deal being made about it. The charge is that it is not her job to engage in diplomacy and that Syria is a state sponsor of terrorism. The Dems shot back that various members of the house have been travelling to the country, including ranking members of the Republican party and that it is no big deal.
I don't think the Speaker of the house should be in Syria - at least not on an official visit. I believe that she shouldn't have met with the Syrian President regardless of her opinion on the matter cause it is the policy of the United States not to engage with Syria. Setting the policy is the job of the American President and Pelosi's actions undermine that policy, however shitty and counter productive it is. That being said, I firmly believe that reaching out to Syria is the key to addressing American gripes and since Condi isn't doing it, some one's got to do it!

that is such a painfully politically correct statement. Be bold.
It is great that Nancy Peloski has gone. Maybe she will be able to shed some light that years of ignoring Syria has not achieved. She has had the balls to go in her official capacity and give credence to the Democrats again. Good for her and the democrats.
Globalisation and more is not about drawing up distinctions like " you are either with us or against us".
Go Nancy Go!
