Assad and the Corleones
After weeks of appearing immune to Arab world protests, Syria faces escalating unrest as soldiers opened fire on demonstrators. Jeffrey Brown discusses the protests with former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Theodore Kattouf and democracy activist and blogger Ammar Abdulhamid, who was exiled in 2005. This is a fascinating discussion and Abdulhamid is someone who has been involved in the Syrian democracy movement for a long time (I've read a lot of his writing).Let's go to the videotape.
Watch the full episode. See more PBS NewsHour.
What bothers me about this is no one discusses what is likely to come next - only whether Assad is likely to go. That's why I'm sitting on the sidelines (but covering) this one.Labels: Bashar al-Assad, Syrian regime change
