Syria

The United States warned Syria through the Syrian Ambassador to the United States Emad Moustrapha that Syria must stop supporting the terrorists in Iraq with money and weapons and stop supporting the Palestinian terrorists. Syria was also warned that stricter economic sanctions such as prohibiting the United States financial institutions from dealing with Syria and the Syrian financial institutions. The United States relations with Syria has been low since May of 2004 when the United States put into effect general economic sanctions on Syria for sending money and weapons to terrorists in Iraq. Syrian policy, Iranian policy too, of exporting money, weapons, terrorists, and attempting to wreck Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts is not acceptable given the fragile situation in the Middle East.
