stop promoting regime change in Syria and Iran.

Syria and Iran have taken strong positions against Israel's violence and oppression. We should understand their point of view. Characterizing violent insurrectionists who seek the overthrow of the government as "protestors" is incorrect. Ambassador Rice should be more even handed--criticize Israel, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Morocco, all police states, as much as Syria and Iran. Clinton and Rice are constantly scolding the Arab world. But what is their understanding of history in the region? Their attitudes and US pressures for regime change only cause people in the Arab world to disrespect our country. Have some respect for the Arab world, don't lecture to them. Above all, stop aiding and funding regime change programs. We need our money at home.
