A Local Voice of Syria's Opposition
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-08-17/local-voice-syrias-opposition
There's a movement afoot inside Syria to topple President Bashar al-Assad - a movement that's triggered a violent and prolonged pushback from the ruling regime. But many of those giving voice to the opposition are doing so from locations far away from Syria, including Washington. We talk a local voice of the Syrian opposition movement based in the D.C. area.

Hi Kojo,
Pls ask ur guest. Why is it that each time there's a problem in the middle east everyone calls on US to act, and take out the oppressive govt.
At this point no one speaks up against their call, but soon as US tries to help by following such calls, the same ppl criticize the US govt.
Cos I believe this is one of the reason the US govt is slow at making moves on dictators like the Syrian govt.
I am not born American, but wld call on the us govt to help my country if there's a problem too, since am a US naturalized citizen. But wld not turn around and blame them on how far they go into trying to help cos the other govt wld try to fight back like the situation in Libya.
