http://gizmodo.com/5883266/anonymous-exposes-hundreds-of-emails-from-syrian-presidential-aidesIt is hugely important and worth mentioning that "mistakes" have been done in the beginning of the crises because we did not have a well-organized "police force". American Psyche can be easily manipulated when they hear that there are "mistakes" done and now we are "fixing it". Its worth mentioning also what is happening now in Wall Street and the way the demonstrations are been suppressed by police men, police dogs and beatings.
and my personal favorite:
Bloodshed is another subject brought up in the American media. There is no mention of how many "soldiers and security forces have been killed". They think that bloodshed is done by the government to attack the "innocent civilians" and "peaceful demonstrators". Mentioning "armed groups" in the interview is extremely important and we can use "American and British articles" to prove that there are "armed gangs".

Lots of Assad apologists.

Everyone had such high hopes for him, too--they thought he'd be more 'reasonable' than his father (who is looking like Caspar Milquetoast by comparison).
