Syria is on the right track, but needs to digest certain realities in order to achieve more reforms.

Seriously, I cannot but admire the various articles in FW over the past eight months, written with so much enthusiasm, positivism, and dosages of «real-ism» for what needs to be done to move forward in rebuilding Syria. Being a Syrian Arab expatriate - born in the US and having lived only a few years of my life within the confines of Syria’s borders, the rest between the US itself, Lebanon and the GCC – might account (actually it does) for such cynicism and for espousing radical and grandiose solutions as opposed to the circumspect reforms being propagated by all.
