"Sisterly" Syria

6:59pm Saniora said he looks forward to cordial relations with foreign countries, including sisterly Syria (Naharnet)


Two things:

(1)Why must Arab countries refer to each other as family members? Because frankly, the inter-Arab screwing that has been happening over the past 60 years is making me a little nauseous, and technically would qualify as incest, which nobody likes, except some weirdos.

(2)If we insist on neighboring countries being family members, can we friggin' decide which member of the family they are? Is Syria the bully brother or the butch sister? Is Israel the smart, athletic step-brother that everybody always compares you to? Is Iran the neurotic, overbearing father? Can't we just decide and stick to it?
