After the humiliation of Syrian intellectuals Moubayed, Seifan and al Taqi (they did not perform ablutions before attempting to supplicate to AIPAC) I recommend we put forward Maysoon Shaladi, the latest contestant to leave Big Brother and who has said that she is not Syrian anymore regardless of her parents nationality. As well as disowning her heritage, she has also posed for photography shoots wearing flimsy underwear, something which would have been catastrophic for the first three heroes to do but which puts her at a distinct advantage for pimping Syria to the West.
No to peace with Israel and no to the liberalisation of our economy. One recent article on the appalling Syria Comment blog boldly claims that "Syria is Ready for Peace". Syria does not have to be "ready" for anything and certainly has no right to think it can sue for peace with the Zionist state. Most of the jokers commenting on his article had (at the time) the most atrocious things to say about this Syrian challenge to the so-called "Cheney" plan for the Middle East, in fact they did not even accept that there was such a plan at the time and were obsessing with rubbish such as a Sunni/Shia split in the region or with "terrorism". Israel has lost its kings and warriors, America is wounded and Britain is like a poodle that's lost its owner. Credit should be where it is due but also a grave opposition to the gradual selling out of Syria for short term gains. The focus now should be on organising a collective refusal of such selling out rather than sitting back and patting ourselves on the back.
