Arab opposition groups

Sometimes people write to me in opposition to my published criticisms of Arab opposition groups and movements.  Are you kidding me?  Supporting people's protests and uprisings should not translate into wholesale, unconditional endorsement of certain Arab opposition groups.  I have been reminding people that the Ba`th Party was once an opposition group which spoke about freedom and democracy.  Hell, Khumayni was opposition at one point.  You want me to believe that this clown is a good representative of the Syrian people?  Anyone who says that does not know the Syrian people.
