- 2-Important to establish first that for nearly 6 years prior to the start of the Syrian crisis, I had used @joshua_landis blog to criticize the performance of the Syrian economy, corruption & host of governance issues. So one can safely say that I wasn't a blind "Assadist"
- 4-Most of the current crop of #Syria analysts or reporters describe the crisis like one tries to describe a movie without having watched it from the beginning. This, for the record, suits Syrian opposition just fine. Best to keep it as evil attacking good starting Mar 2011
- 10-Ever wondered why the vast majority of minorities in #Syria are skeptical about trading their present with an unknown future? It is because they don't trust the promise of freedom & democracy. It is because they have watched every single armed group & heard them loud & clear
- 12-With all due respect to #Syria analysts based in EU / U.S. , they hardly have any skin in the game to care much about the next phase of Syria after they get their regime change. How future Syria deals with Jeish al-Islam / Ahrar / Zanki /HTS is not too important for them
