But the reality is more complicated.  Syrian President Bashar al-Assad cooperated with the United States in the months following 9/11.  And the country arguably has an interest in seeing the war in Iraq resolved, in part because it is now home to more than half a million Iraqi refugees.  President Asaad was once hailed as a potential reformer.  But more recently, he’s been criticized for his handling of domestic dissent and international conflict, including the war in Lebanon.  In this interview with Reese Ehrlich, Assad discusses these issues and warns the dangers of an American attack against Iran.  Ehrlich began the interview by asking Assad if he thought the Bush administration was actively planning to overthrow Syria’s government.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DF3576D9-9785-4E14-8DD5-D94F6D8606C7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
