Where was the vaunted “Arab street”? Where were the protests from the other Arab nations to the UN about Israel’s “aggression” against Syria?

Some interesting military and diplomatic analysis and discussion over at Tigerhawk’s place.

[Monday evening update]

Here’s a lot more. Can we officially replace Iraq with Syria as the newest member of the Axis of Evil now? Though hopefully one that may be treading a little more carefully, now that it knows (once again) that its air defenses are worthless.

And speaking of the old A of E, Iran’s war against us doesn’t seem to be going very well. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get covered much, either in the media, or in Congressional hearings.

Well, not exactly. Maybe we should just call this guy Damascus Dave:

Nothing in Syria was bombed by the IAF, and nothing was damaged – this according to Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar Ja’afari.

Reports of such an attack are “ridiculous and not true,” Army Radio reported Ja’afari as saying on Saturday. Ja’afari added that “Syria does not have North Korean nuclear facilities.”

No, of course not. And the Israelis will be swimming in oceans of their own blood, too.

What was this guy up to?

Zorkot, a third-year medical student at Wayne State University, was allegedly armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and dressed in black clothing with camouflage paint covering his face when he was arrested Saturday in Hemlock Park.

And instead of “Name That Party!” we get to play “Name His Religion!”

There are Christian Arabs (particularly Lebanese) in Dearborn, but somehow, I’m guessing that this guy is no Methodist.

Has North Korea been providing Syria with nuclear material?
