Egyptian Chronicles: A coming soon constitutional amendments in Syria : a gesture of good well

This piece of news to say the truth I couldn't find any where but it can be true as it is based upon a statement that was said in Al-arabya news channel as I think it is not more than a gesture of a good well , a message to the west that

"we are going to be a democratic country"

The Syrian regime decided to make an amendment in the 8th article in the Syrian constitution

The original chapter implies that

"The Baath Arabic socialist party is the leading party in the society and the state that leads the national advanced front,working for uniting people's energies and put it in the service of the nation"

I am sorry for the bad translation from Arabic

This article had been there for about 37 years , a typical socialist thinking , the ruling party that controls everything in the nation , no other party except the Baath party ,and if you read carefully you will find the same old sick terminology of centralized political systems of "National advanced front" and "People's energies" to the rest of that talk

The article no.8 gives the right of monopoly to the BASP ,no other party can practice freely its activates because of it , some hope that this amendment would open the door for other political parties in the country

This reminds me with President El-Sadaat parties return decision in

This is the first amendment ,the second amendment will be for be for article 84 and guess what that article discusses

"The way of electing the president "

Does this remind you with the blessed article 76 in Egypt ??

The way of electing the president in Syria is typical in any other third world dictator country , a result of 99.9999999999% to the president , a yes or no , a poll with known result

It will be changed I guess to be a multiply candidates elections just like in Egypt ,with the same result of course , for El-Assad dynasty

Anyhow as a gesture of a good well that the Syrian regime is not like what the United States says , a terrorist dictator regime , on the contrary it is a democratic regime and the evidence are the amendments

Of course I think and I wish I will be wrong for the sake of the Syrian people but this is just a decoration operation for an ugly face yet inside will remain the same , the regime will continue ruling Syrian from an iron hand , there will be no real freedom or real opposition with these amendment I am afraid.

The Syrian regime knows very well that the role on it after the Iraqi Baath regime.The United States administration doesn't want it at all ,it considered Syria from the axis of evil alliance after all.

The Syrian regime knows very well that it is isolated in the region ,the only ally with it now is outcast Iran , Bashar El-Assad knows very well that his real alley is the people in fact they are the most important allies in any country ,and thus he tries to win them to his side ,the only way to win them to his side against the United States temptation of freedom , but doing these unreal change toward democracy !!

They are not real , it is just like in Egypt , a promise of paradise ,the Baath party will still control Syria by an iron hand

These are just gestures to prove the goodness of the Syrian regime in the west world

You know the same way Egyptian regimes play games with the E.U
