Quote:Unless you happen to be Jewish, homosexual, member of the wrong ethnic group, or in political opposition to Baath fascism, or have friends or family that fullfill one of these criteria.

Now, to a certain extent, that is fair enough.

Unfortunately, I'm betting that even under a democratic regime, Jews, homosexuals, and members of the wrong ethnic groups are probably still going to have a tough go of it in a society that retains such fundamentalist roots.

"Queer eye for the Arab guy" hasn't caught on in the Middle East as fast as did its predecessor in North America. I'd imagine that we're more than a few regimes removed (or is that removed regimes?) from such a revolution of Arabic consciousness. :)
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
