It seems that the Arab regimes whose states are witnessing protests, demonstrations and sit-ins demanding freedom, dignity, equality, justice, democracy, the opening of the doors of political reform and the improvement of living conditions, have failed to reach any reformatory solutions. Therefore, they sought “ready-made accusations” which they used for far too long, until they went to exile or to prison. Sooner than later, the remaining regimes might leave that same way. When the crowds take to the streets while raising the slogan of “peacefulness” and demanding “absent” human rights, and when bullets target the innocent without any mercy and the thugs and scroungers are pushed to kill them, this constitutes the best way to mobilize the populations against their regimes. It is the epitome of stupidity to justify these lethal acts by saying there are infiltrators, saboteurs and hallucinating individuals among the protesters, in an attempt to counter the accusations of “criminality” pursuing their oppressive security bodies. The people agree over the fact that those who kill them, who send the security and intelligence men to kick, run over, suppress, humiliate and insult the protesters, those who threaten women with an empty rhetoric that is void of any humanity and who address the elderly with “idiotic” and hostile expressions, do not deserve to stay in power. The latter are doing so to get the people to abstain from taking to the streets to express their opinions freely, thinking that these oppressive practices will prevent the crowds from demanding the legitimate rights which these tyrannical regimes are refusing to grant them. Odd and ridiculous are the regimes that fail to deal with legitimate demands and rights. Indeed, this exposes the frailty and weakness of their structure and the hollowness of its content, and proves that the days in which the leaders used to win by 99.99% are long gone. This is due to the fact that these leaders originated from falsified comic plays and that such regimes cannot populate a land or build a country in which the people come first. In Syria for example, we saw on television how the security men opened fired on the demonstrators, how the protesters had their necks stepped on with military boots and how the people were humiliated through the use of the worst possible descriptions. On the other hand, protests were staged in favor of the regime, during which the demonstrators raised the pictures of the president, chanted his name and danced to music, before returning home without one hair on their heads being touched and after having received protection and rewards. This is a repetition of the scenarios witnessed in Tunisia and Egypt in the past, and are currently seen in Libya. Observers of Syrian affairs wonder at this level: Had the regime been so confident about its power and popularity, why would it reject independent media coverage and insist on a media blackout? May God bless the new media outlets - from YouTube to Facebook and Twitter - for having exposed the fake official tales that are still nestling in the oppressive minds, while I do not know how these regimes feel no shame as they present their conspiracy and treason theories and refer to the legitimate demands of their people as being those of errant dogs and rats, just because a few free individuals took to the streets to demand necessary reforms? Those who promise reforms must implement them out of respect for a proud population demanding freedom, dignity and justice. Such a population should not be insulted, humiliated or killed, as it was seen on television in Houran, Daraa, Ar-Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, Deir ez-Zor, Tartous, Damascus, Kamishli, Aleppo, Homs, Latakia, Al-Bayda, Jableh and Baniyas during the day dubbed by the Syrians as the “Day of Persistence.” Why was Chief Editor of Tishreen newspaper Samira Musalima ousted, just because she demanded that no tolerance be shown toward those shooting at the protesters - whether they are security men or gangsters - and that these people be held accountable, after she saw her family in Daraa enduring the worst kinds of pain and facing oppression and killing without any reason or justification? Where are the Syrian journalists who deafened us with the calls for freedoms and rights and praised the humanity and Pan-Arabism of Syria? Why did they not defend the oppressed during their appearances on Gulf news channels? Where did those “admirers” who distributed lectures and free heroic positions disappear when their own people needed them? They fled without any shame, including “wannabe sheikhs” who are delivering sermons in Arab countries while completely disregarding what is happening in their own, and are abstaining from uttering a word or even a condemnation in regard to the aforementioned incidents as though they were “blind, deaf and mute!” What is certain is that the contradictions and the promotion of the conspiracy theory and political immaturity claims will one day end with collective popular uprisings, even if the security and intelligence bodies were to exercise their hostility and criminality. A day will come when all the inept intentions, foolish policies and brutal practices will be exposed, because insulting the people, throwing the youth behind bars and killing them with a tyrannical security mentality, is a mere clashing of what is real with what is unreal in a stage of imbalance. This reveals a “cardboard” power that is afraid to see the continuation of the popular revolutions and awakenings to regain the rights, dignity and freedoms.
