You rarely read non-success about the Syrian opposition

"The failure was another sign that opposition activists are having trouble organizing even small, peaceful protests in Aleppo, Syria's commercial hub, which, along with the capital, Damascus, has remained an Assad stronghold.  Almost a year into the national rebellion, one that has turned increasingly bloody in most major Syrian communities, activism in Aleppo remains in a nascent stage. Government opponents have yet to win over much of the population, which includes an affluent business community that greatly values the stability that, in the last few years, had been a hallmark of Assad's rule."
