Dogs Bark and the Caravan Moves on

Some of the negative regional and international reactions to President Bashar Al-Assad’s January 6th, 2013 speech are indeed irresponsible, expected, unjustified and reckless. Such reactions are out of place, time, and prove but the involvement of regional and international governments in the ongoing crisis in Syria. The speech was, however, addressed to ” all those who want dialogue and all those who want to see a political solution in the near future in Syria”

The speech, historic and remarkable by all accounts, wasn’t addressed to ”those who don’t want dialogue”. Thus, all of their shallow reactions and comments were but scoring a goal after the referee’s final-match whistle; they have wasted their time, the same way they have been wasting their sources and petrodollars for the killing of the Syrians, and the destruction of Syria, a big thorn in their throats, at times causing hunger for the greedy ewes eying the Syrian green nature, resources and strategic geopolitical position and role.

The bloody trouble makers, intruders, and colonialists want but what they consider a tasty piece of the Syrian cake; they have exploited every means and ways to weaken, destabilize and dismember Syria- but in vain. So, their reckless reactions were a copy for their sinister, terrorist and aggressive practices against the majority of the Syrians and their bread, infrastructure, and above all against their security, tranquillity and stability.

H.E. President Al-Assad’s speech included every possible generous idea, proposal and invitation, including even the so-far achieved and enacted laws, decrees, parties, elections, Constitution and reform measures. What matters for President Al-Assad is but Syria, a country that is thousands of years old, the Syrian sovereignty, and independent national decision. The Syrians’ national interests are second to none, and the Syrians’ Army achievements, voting and popular referendums, ”not through the president, government, dialogue or any other thing” are but the deciding factor.
