@nerdheadbanger Iran controls Iraq. And more and more of Lebanon. And now it wants to control Syria. But he fears for his life and the life of his family there.

[nerdheadbanger]

@Sockevollpopcorn1 Because Iran is not an Arab country?

Does anyone else think that Dr. AbuKhalil's rant against "the West" is marginally reduced by his decision to wear his Polo badge?

i cdnt understand the logic of asaads criticism on syrian regime n opposition fanatics supported by gulf tyrants.as he did in libyan crises,he tried to criticise both in libya,but now he seems to be a vocal person of libyans,is noy this a contradiction in his logic?he is far frm reality n serves the cause of looters.i think he is the man creatinmg confusion.everyone knew that so called arab uprising is perpetuated by zionists to balkanise mideast,but he had supported it.i think he shd look outar

@massimo38 I'm a very ordinary Saudi citizen and absolutely not a part of a Saudi lobby (I laughed my head off reading your accusations lol). I invite you to Saudi, I invite you to meet ordinary Saudis to ask them what they think. I'm 100% sure most will agree with me. Thanks Massimo for an interesting conversation :)

@msabssa Thanks 4 your response but it seems to me you're not ordinary citizen of Saudi Arabia

that I read about before & you might be a member of a Saudi loby to improve & enhance the Royal's

family name but I appreciate your time & efforts & I thank you very much .

I wonder why he is not talking about the third counter-revolution. Namely the iranian counter-revolution?

@massimo38I know what I'm telling you is against everything you've been ever 'told' or fed. I ask you to have an open mind, and give my people the benefit of the doubt. Saudis aren't fools to be deceived or backward or uneducated. We know whats going on, and we are loyal first and foremost to our country, not to AlSauds. We just see something you don't see. Please never allow yourself to think that you or anyone else would know whats better for us more than we do. Thank you for your time.

@massimo38I know Bahrain very well, I went to school there and I have many Shiite friends. It has nothing to do with a shia-sunni conflict, its turning a liberal/secular country into a state of the Mehdi. Period. IDK if you've read Turki Al-Faisal op-ed on the NYT.Saudi is pushing for a palestinian state, and is risking its relations with (like it or not) the most powerful country in the world.Saudi was against the war/intervention in Iraq, and has made that clear on several occasions.
