"A car bomb exploded in the Syrian capital Damascus on Saturday, killing 17 people and wounding 14, Syrian state television reported.
The car was rigged with some 200 kgs (440 pounds) of explosives, the television said.
The blast occurred near a security installation on the airport road at an intersection leading to the Sit Zeinab shrine, popular with Shi'ite pilgrims from Iran and Lebanon.
Security forces cordoned off the area, witnesses said.
It was the first explosion in Syria since the car bomb assassination of Imad Moughniyah, military commander of the Islamist group Hezbollah, in February.
Last month, a senior security officer was killed at a beach resort near the port city of Tartous in mysterious circumstances, shaking the tightly controlled country."

My only question is how? How can we stop or aide in resolving these issues? It seems bigger than the U.S. can be at the moment.

Can't we all just get along?

If the Bush administration would do their homework and not try so hard to make a buck from everything they come in contact with, maybe even care about the people for a change, they could have more influence in the world and stop some of the violence... look what happened between England and Ireland...so don't say it can't be done...
