It is well-known among observers that the Syrian protests have lost steam since last July. The Syrian paper announced on August 20 that the Syrian government has succeeded in containing the opposition movements (cache). Within this blog, I wrote, only a few days ago, that the demonstrations are apparently losing steam these days.
Only the western governments and media have been shouting what is opposite to the fact. Sarkozi, Erdogan, Ashton, Obama, Clinton, Merkel, Cameron and others really look stupid for a long period of time.
The article which I picked up today (below) attributes the reason of failure to tight security steps taken by Syria. Tight security is only one reason out of many.
I refrain from elaborating what Syrian oppositions should do in this blog, because that is what they should learn by themselves if they really want to engage themselves in politics.
They should experience fierce political struggle which is bloody in essense. They should experience betrayal from within. They should not expect that they can assume power of a country by uploading video clips to YouTube. In case they are not ready to step in a wild jungle, they should stay at home and become a good boy.
The other thing I want to emphasize here is that this outcome is a reflection of the level of the Middle Eastern studies in the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and Turkey (and perhaps plus Israel).
The low quality of Syrian protests, especially in Homs, is also a reflection of the intellectual level of the Muslim Brotherhood and its boss, the intelligence agency of Turkey, which the United States has asked to succeed its role in the Middle East.
