Debate about Syria among Lebanese progressives: summing it up

Comrade Laure sent me this (I cite with her permission):  "Reading Al Alakhbar and your blog on Syria, I came to the conclusion that the uncertainty among people in the same camp, mainly leftists, about Syria is simply about whether the Salafists/ Islamists in the protests are the minority or the majority, and so for some they are a majority and hence who cares about democracy and for others they are a minority so the fight is worth it but those same leftists never cared about democracy anyway. It is so ironic. You for example are supporting the toppling of the regime for obvious reasons despite the Saudi counter revolution, others are against the toppling of the regime despite Israel sharing the same position for fear of the Muslim brotherhood. So Saudi and Israeli interests diverged on Syria? This is so confusing and I don't know what to think anymore. Now your theory of chaos is an interesting one but it is frightening!! I thought of sharing this with you because I don't know what to think anymore. Everyone here is only discussing Syria, some with genuine fear about its spillover on Lebanon."
