(Reuters) - The United States & Syria locked horns on Tuesday, with Washington urging others to join it in imposing sanctions on Damascus,
and with Syria telling America to stop trying to impose its will on Arabs. Syria told the UN General Assembly that the world pays the price when the U.S. government thinks it knows what Arabs want better than the Arabs themselves.
"We'd like to get some others to join us in other kinds of sanctions",Rice told The Wall Street Journal yesterday.
In his U.N. speech, Rice's Syrian counterpart said it was essential that the U.S. and other countries draw up a schedule for withdrawing from Iraq. He insisted it would help
curb the violence there.
"Tragically enough, we all end up paying the price when the decision makers in Washington believe that they know better, and are in a better position to understand and grasp the needs and circumstances of the Arabs," The Foreign Minister said.
