Usually revolutions replace one tyranny with another, as in Iran in 1979 or Russia in 1917.

You think for one second that both monarchs want to find a successful wildfire of democratic movement spreading into their countries? Now if you were an Arab, I could make you believe that the Jews were putting something into the Syrian water supply.

If Assad takes a chance with picking a fight with Israel (although I don't think he or Iran has the courage to do so) and loses, he may have to flee to Iran himself! <br /><br />If that ever happened, would Iran let the Syrian people have free elections or even anymore freedoms than they lack now??? <br /><br />Uskowi, thank you for maintaining this blog, I was wondering if you will continue to keep this website open if / when major violence begins again in Iran/Iraq/Persian Gulf???<br /><br />Have a good day Scythian, and sorry about my enlish........my spelling and grammar are not so good.<br /><br /><br />SazonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-75832883585838524152011-04-13T00:07:33.387-04:002011-04-13T00:07:33.387-04:00Dear Anonymous: April 12, 2011 1:44 PM

That would be the end of Assad's reign. And Israel freeing the Syrian people? That's even more preposterous considering the fact that the Syrian populace are extremely hostile toward Israel. <br /><br />I can't believe I read that nonsense comment.Scythiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-28235623816064752362011-04-12T14:19:37.149-04:002011-04-12T14:19:37.149-04:00The Arab Spring is real.

People of the region, from Tunisia to Egypt, to Yemen, to Bahrain, to Libya and, yes, to Syria, have risen up against presidents-for-life and kings who know nothing but use of tyranny to stay in power. This wave will not be limited to these countries, and will sooner than later engulf other countries, including Saudi Arabia and the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. We need to recognize this reality and stop siding with the tyrants, whether they are “friendly” (or khodi) tyrants or “hostile” tyrants. Otherwise, we will be caught in hypocrisy.<br /><br />One more note: as I had said in a recent post on Arab Spring, what unites these movements are their anti-dictatorial characters and their yeaning for hope, freedom, and dignity. Some of the commentators of this blog put too much emphasize on foreign policy and foreign backers of these regimes as the root cause of the movement. I disagree. As important as those factors are, they are not the root cause. Otherwise, we should have witnessed the most intense movements in Iraq and Afghanistan that are occupied.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-32823881771962111312011-04-12T14:06:06.054-04:002011-04-12T14:06:06.054-04:00It has been quite funny watching the different res...It has been quite funny watching the different responses of various governments or regimes to the protests in different countries. Protests in Syria and Iran are bad, protests in Bahrain or Libya are good, protests in Algeria ???<br /><br />To me, all these protests seem to be rather similar: ordinary people, especially but not all young people, are protesting against the rich and powerful. They want freedom of speech, fair elections, and an end to authoritarian rule. <br /><br />Sria, Yemen, Egypt, Bahrain, Iran - all the same.<br /><br />DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-44609066493380362972011-04-12T13:52:57.470-04:002011-04-12T13:52:57.470-04:00Anything that puts Iran or her allies in a negativ...Anything that puts Iran or her allies in a negative light is a go for Mr. Nader..<br /><br />It is widely believed that the Saudis and Jordanians are involved in whats going on in Syria by using their little clowns in Lebanon..Go figure...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-25933135425580723272011-04-12T13:44:59.542-04:002011-04-12T13:44:59.542-04:00Assad will soon attack Israel to save his nation. ...Assad will soon attack Israel to save his nation.
