Posing, like Susan rice, as a "champion of the Syrian people" the creazy arab claimed that "The Syrian people are left out of the discussion. They have been used by the propaganda of both sides. The Syrian regime is now increasingly a pawn in a regional and international game and is increasingly subservient to the agenda of its regional and international allies, just as the Syrian National Council is hostage to its regional and international alliances. A spontaneous and popular uprising has been (forcibly) transferred into a regional and international confrontation"
Few days ago, Ibrahim Al-Amin, the chief editor of Lebanon's Al-akhbar wrote about the symptoms of isolation In lefty liberal. I wonder if he was addressing his comrades. So far Amin's article is not translated, not published in the English Akbar. This is my translation (forgive my english)
Unfortunate, refuse to admit that they are from the past, that the real vanguard people and realistic today are not from their environment, not their offsets, not resembling something of their slogans, not including even attraction even to a teenager. stiffness infects their scare frameworks, infertility affects what is left in their minds, the surprising game is the closest to their minds. Performing the role of liberal Pro-all the rights of the individual....
In Leninist organization years, the community controlled individuals. The solubility in the community was a prerequisite for membership. It was not a great mix, individual values and humanitarian ideas and sensitivities that were driving the individual to deny himself, even the limits of scratch, to die so others live. But their liberal offsets, did not know the story but its margins, impatient with teamwork; because it deprives the individual properties, prevents the differentiation, and the right to exit the row without the permission of the Leader. But he, himself, the wretched left-wing liberal lacks the idea of teamwork. The idea that there is an Emir, who thinks, decides, and lead, and the rest are just obedient soldiers. But the image blank of anything, make them accept the replacement of general framework, with small frames to smaller groups, gathering what is less than the number of fingers on one hand, or two if brilliant.
They are protesting the general laws which manage the family, school, tribe, caste, region, State, nation and world. None of them can claim possessing a uniting idea.
For decades they live in the reaction zone. All the anger that accommodate them, because of the tragedies that face individuals or peoples, disappear on late evening, behind a Cup with custom music for daydream.
Then they in the final analysis, a minority lacking much true knowledge, as if they did not know schools, and curricula, even the scene where they live. All they know is that they are prisoners of hideous symptoms......

The US never misses an opportunity to feign outrage even at events in which the US has very little credibility. Rice’s indignation reminded one of another Ms. Rice in US foreign policy: it was Condoleezza Rice who clearly and categorically (and she admits that proudly in her “No Higher Honor” book) rejected and postponed any agreement on a cease-fire during the Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006. She even talked about her indignation at the French foreign minister who dared to propose an immediate end to killing in Lebanon. The US now has an opportunity at the UN to pose as a champion of the Syrian people: an uprising in Syria or in Iran is all that the US can afford, because the rest of Middle East tyrannies are nothing but US puppets.
The Russian and Chinese governments are being hailed as the new rivals to the US on the world stage. Syrian regime propaganda TV stations are hailing the rise of Russia as the new super power. They even celebrate the return of the Cold War. The Syrian regime perhaps expects the Neo-Soviet power to threaten the US with nuclear annihilation on behalf of the Syrian friend. Of course, the Russian and Chinese vetoes had nothing to do with the Syrian people or their welfare. Russia and China simply learned from the case of the UN Security Council resolution on Libya: those two countries may need in the future to repress and kill their own people, and they don’t want to set a precedent for an outside intervention.
Russian statements on Syria lack any sentimentality or even friendliness towards the Assad regime. Russia has its own calculations and the Syrian regime has much less to offer to the Russian government than Western governments do. Just as Russia defied the American will at the UN, it can easily sell the Syrian regime in a negotiated deal with the West. But the Syrian regime lives in another era.
The Security Council watched a presentation by Hamad bin Jasim of Qatar. This highly unpopular figure (who is associated in Arab public minds with Qatari normalization with Israel and with a statement to the effect that Arab governments can’t help the Palestinians and that Arabs can only offer to “beg” the US to restrain Israel a bit) became the accepted leader of all the Arabs. When US government officials speak about what “Arabs want”, they are referring to this oil (and gas) sheikh. And just as Amr Mousa was a puppet for the Mubarak regime and the GCC in the Arab League, Nabil Arabi became an obedient servant of Qatar (House of Saud is distracted with succession matters and illnesses of senior princes).
The Syrian ambassador was also allowed to make a presentation (Syria is allowed to speak at the UN, but not at the Arab League, from which it has been suspended). He likes to appear as a man of literature (but he seriously fumbled the name of the German poet, Goethe, and dared to cite the poems of Nizar Qabbani, who was banned from Syria for years).
The Syrian ambassador delivered his talk without any passion: he—sticking to the policies of his government—criticized GCC countries vaguely and without naming names.
The Syrian people are left out of the discussion. They have been used by the propaganda of both sides. The Syrian regime is now increasingly a pawn in a regional and international game and is increasingly subservient to the agenda of its regional and international allies, just as the Syrian National Council is hostage to its regional and international alliances. A spontaneous and popular uprising has been (forcibly) transferred into a regional and international confrontation.
