@Fadlitto: no worries, this is just another poor choice of words due to Naharnet's English language deficiency. By "figures" they intended to really say "puppets".
This is the way to go. A trusted side, such as Russia, should broker an agreement between the opposition and the regime. Sides that do not favor this approach could not care less about democracy for the Syrian people and certainly do not care about the bleeding of the Syrian people.
This guy, Ghalioun, acts and talks as if Assad has no supporters at all. His greed for power has made him disregard the inevitable possibility of a civil war if the Russian-Chinese approach of dialogue is not taken.
We all need to be Ali Moqdad, maybe those crooks at the “mecanique” will start having some decency. They are the most corrupt people in Lebanon (after the cadastre administration). The last time I took my car there, they failed it because the inside of the small circle in the number "9" was peeled. So I went and I had it colored with white and returned. Since my car was almost brand new and that was all they could find, they said it was not enough and send me back to buy a new license. All this because I refused to use one of the "simsars" who wait at he entrance and offers to take your vehicle in for you (and then share his fees with them). The same day, a friend of mine had 3 of his company vehicles that were in a horrible mechanical shape and with no lights pass using the "simsar". These people pick on ordinary citizens. This place does not need person shooting with a gun only. It needs a truck with 1000Kg of TNT to erase it from the map.
