Essential reading on Syria
Please read on ....
But, apart from these red lines, its interest is to befriend Lebanon, not to bully it. President Bashar Assad is facing as grave a crisis in Lebanon as the ones his father, the late President Hafiz Assad, dealt with successfully in 1976, when Syria first marched into Lebanon to protect the Christians, and in 1982, when Israel invaded the country.

Good thing I persisted. The first few paragraphs were a bit too littered with tired old rhetoric and I was about to dismiss it as the same old, same old from some tired old monkey on the left. You know the type: See no Evil. Hear not Evil. Speak no Evil. Anywhere, that is, but in the US. (Was kind of wondering about why you would post this, too, Highlander.)
However, once the author dispensed with the necessary leftist liturgy, he got down to some more serious and credible analysis.
I do think the problems Syria has to deal with now can be resolved without resort to war. There is a way out that can at least diffuse the situation. I sure hope so, anyway.
Glad you persisted Louise, thanks for reading, I wouldn't post anything unless I knew there was something worthwhile the reading. I had you in mind with that article ;)
It is translated from Arabic, in Arabic we kind of introduce the story then go to the main point...
Oh, oh. I'm inside your head now! :-O
:) you and other readers Louise, to whom I wish to demonstrate an alternative view to the Arab world.Hopefully we could learn from each other.
