Syrian government unworried over nuclear inspections
Beijing News.Net
Wednesday 25th June, 2008
In Syria, the government has been generally unconcerned by the visit of a nuclear inspection team to the Al Kibar site, 500km northeast of Damascus.
Al Kibar came to the spotlight following accusations by Israel and the US about Syria hosting an illegal nuclear reactor at the remote site.
Israeli warplanes struck the site on September 6th last year.
While Syria said the planes only hit a deserted military installation, the United States and Israel insisted it was a nuclear reactor, built with assistance from North Korea.
Leading politicians in Damascus have told reporters they feel the nuclear accusations against Syria have been invented and are barely worth attention.
They have said the world will see that Israel has violated international law, not Syria.
The IAEA, which is conducting the search, has not yet revealed any information on the nuclear mission, but a spokeswoman said Israel and the United States should not have taken unilateral action against Syria.

Syrian government unworried over nuclear inspections
International laws are being broken everyday by those who are more powerful militarely, economically, and culturally, at times others call them bullies.
But history teaches us that once any nation becomes powerful it begins to bully its weight around towards those who are much weaker, I do believe this is also the law of nature, for the strong to dominate the weak.

Laws of Nature?
More of the 'good' than your share, is not a Law, but a learned behavior. Bad teaching, and very poor responses to the behavior, which reinforces.
Sorta like Our resident name theif and coward.
