Syria

Iraq and Syria were united over one major similarity. Both countries had a strong hate for Israel. Both the countries wanted to go to war and destroy Israel. One of the most important meetings of Saddam Hussein's life was when he went to meet with the President of Syria. The topic of the meeting: war with Israel. The outcome: If both Syria and Iraq joined together they could use their resources to beat Israel. The bad part: They could not beat the United States of America. Over many years Iraq and Syria leaders met many times to discuss the idea and the immediate outcome of war with Israel.
