Netanyahu assures Syria after Israeli FMs threat
2010-02-05
[Al Arabiya Latest] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reassured Syria on Thursday that Israel sought peace after his fiery foreign minister threatened to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in any future war.

Avigdor Lieberman's remarks clashed with Netanyahu's oft-repeated call for Assad to negotiate peace with Israel and prompted the Israeli leader to discuss what a spokesman termed "the Syrian issue" with the ultranationalist cabinet member.

"Both men clarified that government policy is clear: Israel seeks peace and negotiations with Syria, without preconditions," a Netanyahu spokesman said. "At the same time, Israel will continue to act with determination and decisiveness."

#1  This reminds me of the advice I gave my son in 3rd grade.

"Don't you EVER start a fight. If someone else starts one with you, I have no objection to your finishing the fight."

I also passed this on to the teacher whose pet was the biggest bully in the school.....along with my lawyer's card. She was insulted that I though punishing both instigator and victim was inappropriate.
