You are still biased Rab, what fear are you talking about? you think I am scared to write my opinions here?
As I said many times, you are biased in this subject, you hate the guy for obvious reasons, and there is no way for you to understand what is good or not for Syrians. You only want him dead! It's is pointless to discuss this subject with you, cause you are a side, and a very biased one. You are an anti-Bashar no matter what he does, because of what he and his family did to your country (and I can't blame you there, you have all the rights), there is no point to discuss this with you, but I keep doing it and we don't get anywhere, no single step. So what's the point in arguing this subject with you? Don't get me wrong, I am not attacking you, I like you you know that, but this subject is not discussable for us
forget about everything, I will tell you one thing, try to understand that. We had Muslim brotherhood here (we still have them, under different names), and they tried to coupe the system 3 decades ago, that's a potential risk, that they want to control, and this is a possibility, let it be 1% possibility. can you deny that much? probably half of the country (half of women of course) or maybe a few less wear burqas. Burqas, put aside hijabs, I am not talking about them. When people are like this, you can imagine what mentality some have, and even if they are the majority, it doesn't mean the country should be ruled by their laws, like Saudi Arabia for example, or Iran, that people should wear Hijabs or burqas, no matter what ethnicity or religion they belong too. I am sure you would agree with me on this, so wouldn't this terrible idea concern you? Do you call this a "fear"? This is a concern and not fear, if that happens I will leave everything behind and will start from scratch.. That's not cowardliness as you call, that's concern of what you will lose, or where you will move, lots of risks..
On the other hand, show me a leader, that tells me I am being concerned for nothing, and that Syria will be much better than before, then he gets my vote. I need to trust someone, and trust isn't an easy thing, you wouldn't trust anyone unless you know him good, but you are asking me to trust on something that you or I don't even know what it is. Syria compared to Lebanon is heaven in terms of security, be it life, job or consistency. There is no security in Lebanon, all these years everyone's life were at risk, anywhere could get bombed for no reason, anytime Israeli attacks can arrive, any war can start in seconds, every time election happens, new crisis were born, it fucks the country economically and security wise, rich people don't feel these, poor ones suffer, I know a lot of relative and friends of me suffered of all these.. Syria on the other hand were safe all the time, we didn't have any crisis for ages, economically it was stable (unless if there were global crisis), low crime rates etc.. Because everything was being controlled very well by the secret agencies.. If I have to pick between the "freedom" your country offered (while you know better than me that that word doesn't exist in Lebanon, Lebanon is very know of corruption, and on asked about it, even if they did, no one replied or cared) or the dictatorship mine did, I would pick the dictatorship. Because the one in Lebanon has nothing to do with freedom or modernity.. People there should be angrier than here, no one suffered as much as these here..
