Well. You may like this. The brilliant minds of the US government--the Middle East experts at the White House--the same folks who cooked up the great success story in Iraq, now have a plan. A brilliant new idea, if you will. You see, they want to send Ahmad Chalabi to Damascus to see if he can orchestrate the Baghdad formula, again: "The proposal says part of the effort would be run through a foundation operated by Amar Abdulhamid, a Washington-based member of a Syrian umbrella opposition group known as the National Salvation Front (NSF)." Yeah. We saw how popular the exile personalities were in Iraq. But the Syrian people would really love it when you promote `Abdul-Halim Khaddam in the name of reform, transparency, and democracy. While you are at it: why not promote Rif`at Al-Asad as a symbol of human rights too?
