"There was, as we put it in diplomatic terms, a candid exchange of views, but it is not promises that we are interested in, or assurances, but it is action. We will see what happens in the days, weeks, months ahead."
If Syria follows through on those steps and cooperates with rebuilding Iraq, including the formation of a democratic government, Powell said, "Then that tells us one thing about Syria's decision to move forward: that they looking for a better relationship with United States. If they do not, then there will be consequences."
Powell did not specify what consequences failure to do as promised might bring on Syria, although President Bush has said all options are available.

I know they've been pushin Syria, but this is scary. And here we head once more... I don't want the radical muslims to be in control, but unfortunately, the only strongly anti-imperialist force in that part of the world IS islam. And I only wish it were something like the Moorish Orthodox Church, NOT the fucking Wahabism-style theocracy that is raging now....
