Speakers (especially Lebanese) on Syrian regime TV are out of control. They are invoking all sorts of theories. To them, Russia is a great super power again and is willing to defeat the US over Syria. They lately have been speaking about the Free Masons being involved in the Zionist plot against the Arab world. Kid you not. Yesterday, Lebanese Arab nationalist commentator, Rafiq Nasrallah, said that Henry Kissinger plotted the Sunni-Shi`ite split back in 1973. He did not explain, however, Kissinger's role during the reign of Mu`awiyah.
