Jumblat: Russia, Iran Must Consider the ‘Power of the Powerless’ in Syrian Crisis
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat stated on Tuesday that history has proven that popular movements cannot slow down, but they only gain momentum.
He said citing late Czechoslovakian President Vaclav Havel: “If only Russia and Iran would consider the ‘power of the powerless’ in their approach towards the Syrian crisis.”
“They should admit that the situation cannot be resolved through security measures, but by introducing a radical change to the ruling regime,” he stressed in a statement.
“The regime must accept the rotation of power and halt the bloodshed,” the MP said.
“Didn’t Russia revolt against the oppressive Czarist regime in the past?” he asked.
“If only the Islamic republic would remember the ‘power of the powerless’ and the revolt that overthrew the Shah,” added Jumblat.
“The revolution confirmed that bare-chested protesters demanding freedom and democracy are capable of confronting the strongest regimes,” he stated.
Furthermore, he noted that the “powerless bare-chested” demonstrators in Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen successfully overthrew their regimes and history will repeat itself in other countries.

I guess jabal ahbal has nothing else to do but be on this site. probably his turban head Hasoouni is paying him some pocket money and since like most of the dahiye people he dosen't pay for electricity so he stays on this site & makes nothing but stupid comments.

Walid, do yourself a favor and quit politics man. Hand it over to Taimur. While some people (like I) still have little respect left for you.

As difficult as the situation in Syria is, the issue of segregating people based on their religious affiliation lets me puke. people around the world have shed this burden a long time ago and concentrated on the human being and his/her ability of improving the lives of others based on skills and innovation. We in Lebanon are still centuries behind in terms of human values. I used to be one of those of believed that when the lenin said that religion is the opium of the world and banned it from the USSR that he was not in his right mind; but I am now rethinking my stance as i really see that instead of religion being a force for unification and peace have become a reason for division, killing and most of all lack of peace.
When is Lebanon going to rid itself from those who tarnished religion and its purpose.

"as for berri, we all agree he's a handicap on the FPM and he's overtly on bad terms with FPM especially after aoun defeated him in jezzine. the enemy of your enemy should be your friend, RIGHT :P ? you should LOVE berri. after all, he's a mafioso like most of the M14 'elite'..."

Here is a brief profile of sweating_demon
1) He is a big supporter of the Failed Patriotic Movement aka FPM because according to him it is the only "secular" political bloc in lebanon.
2) He considers Berri a Mafioso.
3) He studied Greek Mythology when most of us were still in diapers.
4) He watched the movie 300, but NOT in Dahiyeh.
5) He owns his "own business", a hight tech start-up Basterma & Falafel stand in Bourj Hammoud.
6) He is a "perfectionist" who only owns "original" DVDs and books, unlike those M14s who own cheap $1 DVDs bought in Dahiyeh.
7) He can read & Write…… hardly.
8) He supports democracy in the Arab World, but also supports the Syrian regime coz he is afraid about minorities' future like shia if the regime falls.
last but not least
9) He is a certified idiot
