USA - Syria Alliance ?

The Times: Reports on brief meeting between Hillary Clinton the US Secretary of State and the Syrian Foreign Minister. This meeting could be an interesting development, if Iran is off the table for talks, then both the USA and Israel would be interested in getting Iran's closes partner on board and for Syria to change sides in the Middle East. If Iran is attacked either by the USA or Israel, getting Syria on board would be a very good idea, it would prevent Iran from attacking Israel through Syria. Thus the question that the USA and Israel will have to ask, what is the price for this deal, is the price lower than a Nuclear Armed Iran. The question will be yes, also Syria could join Egypt in having a normal relationship with Israel. This deal and the devil is in the details, would block Iran in, this would be good for the security of the Middle East and the West.
