I hope that a film maker in Syria is monitoring Syrian regime TV: the programs deserve to be put in a documentary on the fall of the Syrian regime. It is most bizarre. Today, we were treated to a show on the making of gold jewelry. Yesterday, they had a show to promote tourism in Syria: they said that Syrian tourist guides have volunteered to endure pay cuts to spur tourism. Yes, that is what is stopping tourists from flocking into Syria: the high prices of Syrian tourist guides. I am sure that scores of European tourists were about to descend on Hama and Dir`a but felt that tourist guides are charging too much. And regarding the derailment of the train: did we see footage of the survivors? I feel that Syrian regime lies are now increasing.
