Actually, I didn't imagine it's wishful thinking on the part of As'ad, since he is quite leftist in many of his opinions. I don't know if his friend "Khelil" is the same, but that he agrees with his analysis about what is going on there made it all the more reliable to me precisely, because I would think he would prefer things were going differently. I don't think of As'ad as a friendly of the Arab middle class/bourgeois.

And I don't know if it is promising or not yet. Too much is unsettled there. Manipulation of communists/socialists and Islamists and unions to marginalize them in order to get the economy going, who knows if that will work, if they will stay quiet or cause a lot of trouble?

I am sure of one thing--whoever is in charge better not hassle any street vendors of fruit trying to make a buck without all the licenses.

Fascinating post, appraiser. It resonates of wishful thinking, don't you agree?
