Today the Revolution continues


I am not going to run a newswire but I can share some possibly encouraging news. Right now, as we enter teh third month of the Uprising, there are demonstrations underway in Homs; yesterday saw Aleppo coming alive ....

There are calls for a national strike and more and more businesses have closed their doors; if nothing else, we will shut down this country and make it ungovernable for them, make it so that the gang around the regime will no longer be able to prosper.

Al Watan - Makhlouf's mouthpiece - has an interview with Bashar today. In it, he admits that security forces made "mistakes" against the Uprising. But rather than say where the rot comes from, he blames the police for killing us, saying that they were poorly trained. Those who di the training, those who gave the orders are, as always, guilt-free.

Is it poor training that commands the open fire of machine guns today in Homs? Or orders tanks to shell Tel Kalikh?

Is it poor training or policy? And who makes the policy, ya Bashar, if not you?

What the hell did you expect?
I think the only people who still look up to the Syrian government are the Syrians themselves. The rest of the (western) world is not so misinformed as to think Bashar is not a mass murderer.

Sadly not only the Syrians believe the lies, some Lebanese do too.

Is it because they are afraid of the Syrian Regime or merely misinformed or is it because of Hezbollah? Hard to say.
