I just read Syria Shuts Main Exit From War for Iraqis By Thanassis Cambanis in today's NY Times. It is, on net, a good idea that Syria is closing its border with Iraq, and it would be, on net, good for Iraq if Syria (along with Jordan) were to deport Iraqis back to Iraq.
Why? Because Iraq needs all the talented people who left, to fight the insurgents and to rebuild their nation. These people want Americans to do their dirty work, and then they would go back home to Iraq and largely be ungrateful for our loss of blood and treasure on their behalf.
So I hope Syria deports them, and all Iraqis finally take responsibility for their own country.
