Re: What To Do About Syria
Bishr, I did not say that the invasion of Iraq for the purposes of regime change was a good thing, I actually said that I opposed it. The point I was making is that after the worst excesses of the insurgency, there were people who changed their position because the insurgency was not working, it was not reducing violence, it was not improving security, it was not going to send the US and the British troops away -because they could not be beaten. You have not actually said in what way Iraq benefited from Saddam Hussein, because you can't -my point about tourism was that had Iraq not fallen foul of dictatorship it would have enjoyed the kind of normal life they lead, for example, in Jordan, where tourism is an important part of the economy -for good reason if you have ever been to Jerash or Petra. Millions of people would love to have visited Iraq but were unable to because of that violent crook called Saddam. Perhaps you could tell me what happened to all those billions of $$ Saddam and his chums collected from oil revenue.
I did not say Syria has been in ruins for decades, but it is now, its political system is broken beyond repair -for you to say i thank president hafez al assad from the bottom for making syria a country where everyone knew their limits and where robbery or homicide was virtually unheard of is just an extreme form of defence, if you do not want the challenges posed by democracy, which is not going to make Syria anyone's whore, but offer the people who live there the right to choose their own government, then support dictatorship but dont cry the night they knock on your door and take you away to an unmarked building somewhere in the city. Hafez al-Asad's family connections in Latakia include criminal activities there, and if you don't think the old lion was a lawbreaker when he crushed the rebellion in Hama in 1982 your definition of criminal activity must be elastic.
The situation in Syria is desperate, we know that. You won't find many or any posters here who think it is a good thing or who dont know that outside parties are involved -what I think most people want to see is a just form of politics in Syria, because the old way of doing things does not work. One by one the dictators are going, and it won't be long before the Saudi family business can no longer buy off the citizens of that country. Because change happens, whether you like it or not. It is a pity that you don't see far enough ahead to work for a more open, honest and just society in Syria.

Re: What To Do About Syria
Bishr... could you state clearly for us to understand what your position is regarding President Assad. Are you a Government supporter?
How do you respond to reports that members of the iranian Revolutionary Guard are now fighting alongside Government forces in Syria to put down the insurgency.
Do you accept reports that Government bomber plans attacked a petrol station a couple of days ago killing more than 30 people?
Please make your position clear for us.

You might be right... though I am sure his friends have bigger fish to fry (and lots more children to slaughter)

Re: What To Do About Syria
LOL!
thank u for banning the "bishr" account from posting, you couldn't have helped more in advancing the cause of revealing how ignorant, intolarant, and close minded the people claiming to be pioneers of freedom really are!
we have a saying in arabic, it relates to people adamant about spreading misinformation and hiding facts, it roughly translates to:
you can't hide the sun by raising a sieve to it.
