How Humiliated Can the Syrian Regime Get?
The
last two weeks have shown the true face of the
Syrian regime: A paper tiger internationally and a
mafia gang at home. Despite an Israeli air raid on
Syria, the regime that is celebrated across the Arab
world as being the last one standing to Israeli
hegemony, issued a number of worthless statements
promising Israel retaliation, which never came.
At
the proceedings of the UN General Assembly, the
Syrian delegation was almost isolated and had no one
to talk to except its patrons, the Iranians, and its
puppets the Lebanese delegation under President
Emile Lahoud.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kushner called off a
meeting that was to be held with his Syrian
counterpart Walid Al Moallem. All of this, and the
Syrian regime depicts itself as the defender of Arab
pride and honor.
But
if this tyrant regime was weak at the world stage,
it was certainly criminal enough at home, inside
Syria, and was certainly able to export its terror
to its weaker neighbor: Lebanon. This time, the
Syrian regime and its Lebanese puppet killed the
sixth anti-Syrian legislator in Lebanon, Antoine
Ghanem. Arab regimes hinted that Syria stood behind
the assassination, but such implicit accusations
fell on Syrian deaf ears.
At
this point, it simply seems that this regime has
stopped playing a role that is not theirs as things
came clear: The dictator regime is being humiliated
everyday on the international and regional stage,
and meanwhile it kills and imprisons Lebanese and
Syrian opponents at home.
So
long for upholding Arab pride…
