Syrius Pressure

This here music mash up the nation

Tell your ma, tell your pa everything’s gonna be all right
Can’t you feel it? don’t ignore it

Revolution rock, I am in a state of shock
So bad, bad rock, this here revolution rock
--The Clash

This revolt needs a soundtrack.

What's after Syria? Jordan? The big fish is Saudi Arabia, but that won't happen for a while, I bet.

Lebanon 'victory' spurs Syrians to demand a voice
By Rhonda Roumani
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

DAMASCUS, Syria -- Demonstrations that brought down the government of neighboring Lebanon on Monday inspired Syria's intellectuals and activists to issue new calls yesterday for greater political participation in their own country -- a nation known for its strict limits on dissent.

"What happened [in Lebanon] was a huge victory not only for the Lebanese people, but for the people of this region," said Wael Sawah, a Syrian political analyst and activist. "This is the first time a Cabinet resigns under popular pressure."

Michel Kilo, another prominent Syrian opposition figure, said that the Lebanese protests could have a ripple effect in Syria.

"The people here will want a bigger role and will start demanding their rights more," Mr. Kilo said.

Jah, stand up for your rights. Get up, Stand up.....Life is your right, so you can't give up da fight.....
