#1 Barakat, who is the Syrian Baath Party official responsible for Education and Organisational Issues, said that with all differences, Syria had things in common with the United States. For instance, both were interested in preserving the Iraqi state, he said.
âWe are ready for constructive cooperation,â he said in his interview with the Austria Press Agency. In view of the chaos in Iraq, the US needed good partners in the region, he said.
n CAIRO: Egyptâs President Hosni Mubarak said the only way to lift the threat of Iraq plunging into chaos is to boost support for the interim government of Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, in an interview published here yesterday.
âThe only path possible, in the current circumstances, is to support the interim Iraqi government to allow it to meet its commitments to hold elections at the start of 2005,â he told the Mayo newspaper.
He called for closer cooperation with the Allawi government âso the Iraqi people can overcome the test they are faced with, as part of a global vision to preserve their unity and regional security ... free of foreign domination.â

hmmmm...trying to hide the "bad" news at the end of "good news". It almost sounds like Egypt and Syria are starting to understand the consequences of ticking off their new neighbors.
