who are moderate islamists who want a greater sense of fairness and equity within society they are among three dozen dissidents who've been arrested in the past couple months some people some not for calling for the overthrow the government or anything but simply who are allowing the partially elected advisory assembly to have a little more power than it does currently so it just seems like you know another sad chapter and the crackdown against any dissent in the under that authoritarian regime by and large remains there definitely a large syrian regime. stream question again and they could use against foreign i guess work but most fundamentally no real. by the people themselves the most political. parties most people. are. going to we're going to see we want some input about the direction of our

justice system holds you and partly responsible for nine eleven is most interesting both in terms of timing and historical context back in two thousand and three as the u.s. waged war against iraq another u.s. federal judge ruled that iraq must pay for nine eleven attacks very similar rulings so have you have this clear flashback when you look at the headlines from may two thousand and three course the allegations that saddam hussein was doing business with al qaida proved to be bogus but that didn't matter at the time having solid evidence didn't matter at the time tensions skyrocketed on false grounds with regards to iran the timing is of importance as far as its nuclear program the obama administration says they want diplomacy and negotiations to work combined with the most recent ruling holding the grand responsible partly responsible for nine eleven one can argue there may never be any easing of tensions or sanctions even if you're right makes all concessions on its nuclear program. u.s.
