Are March 14 Playing The Political Game Right?



Plain Talking


Some pundits are starting to cast some doubt.

I don’t have a problem with blogs like the LA Times’s Babylon And Beyond saying that March 14 are making tactical errors. Heck March 14 can be so foolish sometimes you’d wonder how they’re still in power. But that’s no excuse to sneak stuff like this in:

Some are wondering whether the U.S. is playing the smartest game by refusing to bend to the opposition’s demands, without at least offering compromises. Ending the power vacuum by giving in to the opposition may be a short-term loss, but some say it will serve the long-term interests of America and its allies in the March 14 movement.

Perhaps the people over at Babylon And Beyond don’t remember that the latest attempt for compromise (the Arab Initiative) was scorned because it does not provide for the “Basket of Solutions” that the opposition keeps demanding, a slippery slope so steep March 14 might as well pack up and leave the country.

  2. What do you expect?

    those who claim M14 have abdicated their responsibilities to others. They should be surprised if they are now as much an object of negotiation as Syria’s lackeys in M8.

    The worst part is that none of them appears to realize it. Then again, competence was never their forte.
