Syrian people face Both, Death and Humiliation

(Writing by Samer Radwan; Translation by Dani Murad)

Before tackling the issue of national sovereignty or the cosmic conspiracy that seeks to undermine the chivalry of Arab leaders and their people, we should ask ourselves: did the Arab countries really gain their independence?

The introduction might seem odd, considering the successive pumping that took place for decades from worn-out regimes that aimed to keep these questions away from the new generations. These regimes and regions were made according to historical international settlements.

And perhaps a simple review of the Arabic cantons reveals scandalous and shocking facts, where the change only lies in colonizer’s dress and the way its interests and desires are fulfilled.

So what has changed, when colonization’s form turned from direct into indirect, and how can we believe that the existence of one French soldier on the Syrian soil is different in substance from having a civil embassy that dictates the conditions of obedience on an entire country.

And most importantly, how can we convince pro-regime malignant minds that their leaders are just (mukhtars) of those large countries with privileges of stealing and killing without any accountability and on behalf of colonizers.

The demise of "The sick man of Europe" left by the Ottoman Empire, was divided between the European hegemony, and then distributed to local collectors, whom their task was to wear the national hat and cover occupier’s gray hair.

This colonizer, have known very well how to recruit conservatives with Arab identities who have hidden underneath their foreign nationalities, that are not difficult to be detected.

Within this consecutive chain, names are changed under new masks to uglier faces, and whoever convinces history that Djemal Pasha “the butcher” is different from Bashar Al Assad or his father, deserves a patent for invention protected by humanity’s constitution.

And the one that can differentiates between Ali Doba and Abdel-Hamid Sarraj is worthy of appreciation, or can compare Henri Gouraud’s warning to Damascus to regime’s ultimatum to Homs of bombardment and abuse, is no doubt an exceptional mind that we should pledge alliance to.

All of that was true before the fifteenth of March 2011, but after that date, we became more appreciative of the original “the old good days”, and demanded the elimination of similar tools which produced unmatched monstrosity.

If Ali Mamlouk has become more brutal than any claw of history’s colonization, and people started to appreciate colonizer’s compassion more than its despicable agent, then how can we accept after this to discuss the elections of the immortal leader , the son of immortal, the general, first teacher, first constructor , and first doctor. Bashar.

Isn’t it funny to put this farce in front of a scientific scalpel to discuss it and reveal its forgery, because the dysfunction is not in regime’s elections amid blood and destruction, which the regime undertook to make them last for a long time.

The dysfunction lies in not having these elections since we know very well regime’s clowns and followers, and because we are reactionaries and not doers, we discuss the hypothesis that should not be supported; since discussing is a dedication and searching for imperfections, is a prove of the hypothesis itself.

Al-Assad is going to win the elections with a huge percentage, no doubt about that, celebrations and sweets will be everywhere, and pro-regime areas will be gloating over our misfortune because they support fear, interest, and their sect.

But Syrians’ souls will curse Assad’s next iron rule, and will keep the Syrian identity close to revolution’s first slogan “Death Rather Than Humiliation” but with a slight yet disastrous modification, “Death and humiliation together.”
