"Too many Syrian intellectuals, he said, are still shackled to Arab nationalism and other Cold War-era ideas and political ideologies." Really? I may not disagree with that if you add that too many Syrian intellectuals areshackled to Saudi and Qatari Wahhabi forms of fake liberalism, and to Warm War-era ideas of NATO intervention and Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. I like those who suffer from the heavy of weight of tutelage by Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Hariri family fortune and who pretend that their ideology is not an ideology. What is it then?
