"The Al-Seyassah newspaper in Kuwait, has an interesting article about the investigation of Mehlis. It reports that when Rafik Hariri visited Assad the last time, that fateful ten minute meeting, Hariri recorded the conversation that took place including the threats Assad dispensed with so easily using a special pen that Jacques Chirac of France gave it to him after complaining to Chirac of the menaces and threats he usually receives every time he visits Assad. The article continues that Mehlis intended to have Assad listen to the tape when he visited syria in pursuit of the truth of who killed Hariri. For one moment, just put yourself in Assad’s shoes listening to a tape that demonstrates his gangster style of politics. Imagine for a moment what the first words Assad will utter after he hears himself threatening Hariri. had he say: “This is fake, I never said that”? Or had he say: “This is taken out of context, he threatened me first’? Or had he simply just breakdown and cry while confessing to the killing? All of this of course is hypothetical. What we Syrians and many others fail to see in this tragedy is something that goes deeper than the whole investigation.
What kinds of people are governing Syria today?
In Syria, the whole country is governed by thugs, literally and figuratively. Men who ask to be served by the masses. They tend to be the center of fake adoration and forced love. There is no greatness in the Assad clan. There is only selfishness, corruption, and abuse of power. Syria deserves much better than that and there will be no tears shed when this clan falls on its head. In fact, Syria will celebrate that day like no other. To be sure, Damascus is hardly a benign influence. It arms Hizbullah and harbors violent Palestinian groups.

Pry Syria Away from Iran
TALKING TO SYRIA.... but the chorus calling for Syrian involvement in crafting a Lebanon ceasefire solution now includes Henry Kissenger, Bill Clinton, George Bush the father, Richard Armitage, Warren Christopher, and Mr. Flat World himself, Tom Friedman, Robert Baer ,CIA, David Kimche Mossad and etc what kind of a new Democratic Middle East are creating? After all these years and researches and studies, Should we? Can we pick up the Syrian gauntlet? Only within a package deal involving the United States, and Lebanon. The Americans must first be persuaded that prying Syria away from the clutches of Iran is an objective worth pursuing. The advantages for us are manifest: defusing the dangerous Iranian-led axis in the North, expelling the Hamas and Jihad extremists from Damascus, paving the way for relations with the rest of the Arab world. There is, of course, the Golan. Successive prime ministers, including Binyamin Netanyahu, had been willing to compromise our position on the Golan for the sake of peace with Syria. Future negotiations with the weak Assad could probably produce better results for us than previous efforts. The joker in the Middle Eastern pack of cards is Syria - Syrian President Bashar Assad is a dictator, yet for us in Israel a secular dictator is preferable to a democratically elected fundamentalist Muslim fanatic
I am trying to cut down on smoking and becoming a more healthy person, why do you not adopt such a positive -but mental- attitude and start recognising that the bombs that is killing are not originating in Syria, but from your beloved Israel, via caring the US Admin, and that neither of those two count on or give a real damn about your beloved Lebanon. Or do you really believe that stuff that LEBANON is a trully special case. Walid Jumblat's warning that US and Israel medicine are killing the patient and turning Lebanon into a failed state:
"Jumblat said, “We will be a weak state next to a very strong militia. Our government will be like the government of Abu Mazen [Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas] next to Hamas—or maybe worse, like the government of [Nouri al-] Maliki in Iraq.
No other US administration has been able to pin down the Syrian regime to the wall as the current administration! The far sighted principled approach of the current US policy makers have finally found the answer to Syrian extortion and blackmail. Like the Kaddafi regime, the Syrian regime must come out of the closet in complete unconditional surrender. It should admit its past and present crimes of terrorism, extortion, political assassinations, lack of respect to neighbors’ sovereignties, constant interference in neighboring countries and its dismal human rights record. It should then renounce its past deeds and compensate the victims of its crimes including those of terror, extortion, political assassinations and jailed activists. Bashar and Co. can reach deep down into their pockets to do so.What is in it for the Israelis if Syria becomes democratic? On the negative side, Israel may lose its current status as the Democratic model of the Middle East. That’s too bad , As I've said, what does Israel realistically hope to accomplish?I'm serious in asking this question.We're tired of hating. We hated Syria for a long time. We thought that you, Israel, were going to leave us alone. You were in a different category.Now, you're hated more than Syria. Has Syria ever done anything this bad?So, how can we hate Syria with such vigor any more? We can't.Everyone else hates you. I can't. I want to, but I can't. I want to understand you. I really, really do. I don't want to hate you. I've met far too many good Israelis . In the back of my mind there is a question:
Does Israel really want peace? By saving the Syria regime"
