"Bomb, Bomb, Bomb..."

Not "...Bomb, Bomb Iran", but, it seems, "...Bomb, Bomb Syria".

A country with at least five predominantly Christian provinces, and where civil servants are given Sunday morning off to go to church even though Sunday is a working day.

A country, for pity's sake, which is in talks with Israel ("indirect" talks, but so what?).

Let us be grateful that this last ditch bit of electioneering, trying to incite Syria to war in order to shift the Presidential debate from the economy to "national security", is certainly not going to succeed.

But let us have no compunction about calling it what it is.
