The Syrian Mirage
By PIERRE PICCININ | March 06, 2012
More than a year after civil unrest broke out and plunged part of Syria into the chaos of the ‘Arab Spring’, the Baath government remains firmly in control and the majority of the country is calm; almost untouched by an opposition which is scattered and confined to the cities of Homs and Hama, as well as a few towns on the Turkish and Lebanese border. The main reported cases of unrest are linked to regular attacks from Salafist bands which are of an extremely violent nature and more importantly, the Free Syrian Army. The latter counts amid its ranks numerous Qataris and Libyans, all whom have been trained in the art of urban guerilla warfare by the French army in refugee camps, which provide perfect bases from which to operate and orchestrate attacks.
How can one explain the resilience of this regime? A regime which is more or less in complete control despite facing what is usually described as a “revolutionary populist uprising”? One which is determined to overthrow the “Alawite dictatorship” from the political and economic realms of Syrian society, the so-called privilege of the Alawi, a community which accounts for no more than about 10% of the population?
Perhaps it is because the reality does not correspond to this over simplified equation. … continue

What I see is a US Senate that does not recognize the Right of Statehood in Palestine for the Palestinian people!
And therefore, I see no reason for the US Senate to recognize the need or value of the United States Senate whatsoever!
In fact, the senate itself should be abolished!
The US Senate is an awful anachronism that is not only unrepresentative, it is disproportional of population due to being based on state borders and not apportioned as is the US House of Representatives.
Clearly, the US Senate is an undemocratic institution, as well as a redundancy of having two politicians “representing” the same population.
Senator Reid is a war criminal by merely by the crime of omission, but commission as well, a fact that is irrefutable made manifestly indelibly clear by recorded votes and video of statements on the senate floor.
The senate has no integrity or scruples to be found, but treacherously doing the bidding a criminal fascist-imperialist state misbegotten in Palestine, is not statesmanship, it is High Treason.
If you have researched the USS Liberty attack by Israel in 1967, the assassination of President Kennedy, and/or 9/11; you will know who and what the Zionist are! Israel is the one country the US should blockade, disarm, and scatter to the winds! This time, the US Senate has gone to far, as has Obama, albeit in arrogance and ignorance!

CORRECTED EDITION OF PREVIOUS COMMENT:

In fact, the US Senate itself should be abolished!

Senator Reid is a war criminal not merely by the crime of omission, but commission as well, a fact that is irrefutable, made manifestly indelibly clear by his recorded Roll-Call votes and statements he made on the senate floor.
The US Senate has no integrity or scruples to be found, and this vote is another glaring example of it treacherously doing the bidding of a fascist-imperialist Israel, a misbegotten state in Palestine. That is not statesmanship, it is High Treason!
If you have researched the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel in 1967, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and/or 9/11; you will know who and what the Zionist are!
Israel is the one country the US should blockade, disarm, and scatter to the winds!
This time, the US Senate has gone to far, as has Obama, albeit in arrogance and ignorance as a hand-puppet worked by Zbigkniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller’s imperial minister and Obama’s demented mentor.
