Syrian Opposition Unity in Cairo

There was unity in Cairo.  There was yet another conference to REALLY unite all Syrian opposition factions and personalities.  But it went well.  No, it really did, if you exclude the following: 1) The General Committee of the Syrian Revolution withdrew.  2) Kurdish representatives withdrew.  3) more than 70% of factions represented were from exile opposition groups.  4) Haytham Manna` referred to the attendees as "Televisionists"; 5) the Free Syrian Army referred to the conference itself as a conspiracy.  Other than that, it went well, really.

PS Oh, since I posted this I learned something more: that during the warm unity meeting, some people got into fist fights.
