The poorest nation in the region and still going to the streets to support their leader. These people are so stupid, my God. As if they were all chanting: "Let's continue to remain poor, let's remain backwarded and isolated". How is it possible that in the XXI Century people still compare leaders to God? These people are kind of retarded...

It makes no sense to sacrifice your lives for this coward bashar . there's only one person that i would die for.... My Mother.

Every rule has an exception.Syria and Lebanon are the only two arab countries that badly need stability as a top priority because of the state of war with Israel and their status as confrontation states.I do not think Syria can afford the luxuries of western-style democracy and freedom at this juncture !

Salma, I admire you very much. You have balanced vies in relation to all issues. You defend your country, Palestine, while recognizing mine, Israel. You criticise Arab leaders when necessary and express solidarity to Jews in time of tragedy. Kol haKavod. Maybe you are the new Arab generation we have been waiting for so long. MABRUK, Hamudah

Salma think that Bashar is a coward because he doesn't fight Israel, she is a fan of Nasralah, who is not known to a be a friend of israel :) She is certainly a very interesting person but she is not really a friend of Israel, just look at the way she put always the name of our country between quotes. How do you interpret that ? I interpret it as the negation of our land. Well, a lot of people here negate also the existence of a future Palestine, so that seem to be even. But... Correct me if I am wrong Salma, dear :)

( Syria down the gutter). To lie so freely, with abandon; only arabs have mastered this ancient art. The koran's influence, sans doute. We will sacrifice our blood (cheap type), our souls (the devil's property), and our lives (worthless). As usual empty talk. Nothing like islam to harangue, to make bombastic speeches, to entice the crowds, and at the end , like a deflating balloon, Nothing!. The same all the time -- boring. When I hear these fiery speeches, I am expecting to see blood gushing down the gutters -- cadavres piled up at least 3 high in town square, and Assad , out of respect, bowing to this unselfish sacrifice from his " beloved brothers ". His wife must be proud of him !

Friends do not incite against each other, are you trying to incite Ricardo against me : ( What can I say? You are always right my dear friend : )

Hamudah who?

who knew?

I don't incite anybody against anybody. I just suggest Ricardo to cool down a little bit :) Everybody likes you here (well, almost), that's for sure, but you still continue to put Israel between quotes :( Don't forget that we are israeli...
