Syria and Saudi Arabia

The Syrian government tries so hard to appease the Saudi government to no avail.  The Syrian foreign minister even supported the right of Bahrain to call in Saudi troops, in the hope that Saudi media would ease up on Syria.  It did not work.  Al-Arabiyyah TV (the station of King Fahd-s brother-in-law run by his son) is now leading its news cast with news and rumors about Syria.
