Conspiracies, conspiracies

The conspiracy that the Bahrain regime is blaming for protests in Bahrain is different from the conspiracy that the Syrian regime is blaming in Syria. By the way, our statement in support of the Syrian people upset many people. People tell me about a Saudi conspiracy.  Yes, there is a Saudi conspiracy against Syria but the Syrian regime refuses to even accuse Saudi government so it talks about unidentified external hands.  But more importantly, even in the presence of a real Saudi conspiracy in Syria, and even in the presence of a real Salafite movement in the country (supported by Saudi Arabia too), there is a real and popular protest movement in the country.  People are fed up with the Ba`th rule: they got neither the Golan Heights back nor social justice (not to mention Arab unity).  I know for a fact that there are many communists active in the protests too: in Homs yesterday, the communists turned out in full force, and the sit-in attracted many from the brave Communist Action Party, which opposed the regime for decades, and waved a campaign against regime after the Syrian military intervention in 1976 (it was then named Communist Action League).  But I have to say: House of Saud is acting uncharacteristically: it is acting not cautiously but recklessly.  That is good.  House of Saud will fuck up, big time.
