Comrade in Syria

A Lebanese comrade who works in Syria sent me this:  "It is amazing to see the atmosphere and mood among my colleagues in the company. This is my 3-4 visit since the beginning of the uprising, and I can see how they are more and more against the regime and more and more outspoken about it. If my colleagues are a true representatives of the Syrian society, then he is doomed.  The fist visit, only two guys from Daraa dared to speak their mind, now the whole place talks about bringing down the regime !  ther protests are increasing daily now, not weekly, and many in Damascus. Aleppo seems the only place not to move yet.  I watched part of his speech on TV with them (10-12 ) and I could see how they were all shaking there heads with disgust."
