  1. @syrianews so de-baathification wasn't an Iraqi political initiative, it was a technical anti-insurgency measure @walaabridget
  2. @syrianews that can't be separated from the fact that weren't fully-formed political movements for change. Emergency measures @walaabridget
  3. @WalaaBridget I opposed intervention in Libya from day one, still against it & against it in Syria. Self-determination only. @syrianews
  4. @WalaaBridget Iraq is the wrong example, that wasn't a revolution it was an invasion and wasn't about democratic change @syrianews
  5. @syrianews different cases. Iraq didn't have a homegrown movement & Libya was handed over to the NTC. Need to build national alternatives.
  6. @syrianews that's where we disagree. 'Peaceful' is not the aim, the aim is change and breaking the conditions that create the current system
  7. @syrianews I'm sure it was, that's not the point. elections under unfair power structure are still a parody.
  8. @antoine_haddad it's not about whom specifically but the conditions of transition under SCAF are not right @Beirutspring @khalilche
  9. @syrianews kind of false question when the elections were held while SCAF is there. Revolution should have never stopped.
  10. @syrianews Shafik should have been in prison next to Mubarak.
  11. @cultoftravel great to have sane people around, I thought everyone would be against.
  12. @khalilche sorry, it's not a democracy when Mubarak's men disqualify candidates randomly. Job wasn't finished @Beirutspring @antoine_haddad
  13. @Hindoisms the old regime shouldn't even be given a chance to get into office. Fuck them. You have the right idea.
  14. 'Law and order' mean nothing if the injustice of the old regime will continue. Most of you will disagree, but I'm 100% with #Tahrir. #Egypt
  15. @AnoCrazyBear haha, thanks for that. I was translating from Arabic.
  16. Maybe it's Arab Spies not Arab Spice. I'm starting to worry now.
  17. This article in Persian which is quoting one of my articles appears to be titled 'Secularists and Arab Spice': sharghnewspaper.ir/News/91/02/12/…
  18. Looks like Shafik is preparing to step down from the presidency already. He's thinking of ritually appointing Omar Suleiman as VP. #Egypt
