That is also a twist of the truth: Eid was born in Syrian to Palestinian parents, and considers Syria to be his home country. (His book is even titled "My Country".)
I can't blame him for wanting Assad gone -- the problem is how to end up with an Egypt type solution (el-Sisi) instead of Libya (chaos) or Iraq -- granted that Iraq could have come out much better if we had handled things differently.
Eid has his agenda, and your posting history clearly shows yours.
Sounds like you're a big fan of his...good luck with that.
