After Pelosi’s Syria Visit, Dissidents Cower

And I quote part of the full article here:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Syria last month, and the related question of whether or not the U.S. should formally re-engage this Baathist republic, remains as controversial a topic on the streets of Damascus as it was in the days afterwards among Beltway bloggers. And, perverse as it may seem to some American liberals, it is the Syrians who are most sympathetic to their progressive values who have been most critical of Ms. Pelosi’s attempts to begin a dialogue with Syria’s government.

Basically, she's made matter worse in SPITE of what she thought!! But will she see the error of her ways? I don't think so. The elitism of Left basically states "Don't confuse me with the facts!"

“So much of Syria’s opposition was against Pelosi’s visit, against the E.U.’s talks with the regime,” Mr. al-Bunni explained. “They believe that these offers of friendship strengthen the regime and increase its totalitarian tendencies, and they’re angry.

And so should WE BE!!!!!!!!
