At least 112 people killed across Iraq- Syria calls for timetable

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - Syria's foreign minister called Sunday for a timetable for the withdrawal of American forces to help end Iraq's sectarian bloodbath, in a groundbreaking diplomatic mission to Iraq that comes amid increasing calls for the U.S. to seek cooperation from Syria and Iran. At least 112 people were killed nationwide, following a week that had already seen hundreds of deaths.

Walid Moallem, the highest level Syrian official to visit since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein, denounced terrorism in Iraq even as Washington mulled its own overture to Damascus for help in ending Iraq's violence.

Syria and Iraq share a long and porous desert border and both Baghdad and Washington have accused Damascus of not doing enough to stop the flow of foreign Arab fighters."

Maybe we should bomb Iran, that'll fix it, right?

1. So Syria is acting more grown-up than the US. Will this force the
US to act in everyone's best interests, or will they dig their heels in some more, since we know the amount of blood spilled makes no difference to our gov't?
