The Disgusted Syrian is Back!

Karfan (disgusted) is back after an absence of over a year to the delight of all those of us who used to follow his blog: Syria Exposed. This is one of the most original of the Syrian blogs. Karfan's posts are cynical, irreverent, smart and funny. Although his venom is mostly reserved for the tyrannical Baathist regime and its leader, no one escapes his wicked tongue. In his most recent post, he takes aim at the opposition activists and their elitist approach to democratic reform in Syria. His perspective is that of the average working Syrian, a perspective often ignored or overlooked. Karfan is right, the Syrian reform movement needs to build a popular base to make it credible and viable. Lofty talk about democracy and freedom only goes so far. The average Syrian needs to know what this reform, if and when it come, will mean for him and his family.
