Two years ago, no one expected the string of revolutions in the Middle East to spread to Syria. President Bashar al-Assad was well-liked among the Arabs as one of the few leaders to espouse and promote the cause of Arab nationalism — even though we now realize it was empty rhetoric. He stood up against the West, ensured Syria remained a stable, safe country (due to his tight grip), and Syria’s economy wasn’t too bad — no one really had complaints of him. Having gone to Syria, I knew no one could complain. The dreaded, omnipresent Mukhabarat (an intelligence agency known for its secret police) has been feared by Syrians for decades — a fear that I felt even here in America. I have been told by my family on numerous occasions to not talk politics or say anything about the president while in Syria, for my safety and the safety of my family.
