The day before yesterday, I woke up early and had some extra minutes before going to class, so I turned on the TV to have a quick roundup. On CNN, there was an interview with the Syrian Ambassador to the UN, and it really got on my nerves.

The interviewer was asking about some specific aspects of the Mehlis report, and the Syrian official had one answer to all questions asked: “I’m not in a position to answer this, but all I’m going to say is the following: ‘This report is grandly politicized. You can’t make accusations against a country based on no evidence and shady witnesses’.”

What a whole load of crap! He kept on repeating that answer that I felt I was going to throw up (having an empty stomach due to fasting helped to prevent that). The report is not politicized, and many people, including Jihad al-Khazen (Arabic), agree with me. The fact that the US and France would use the report to put political pressure on Syria has nothing to do with its neutrality.

The accusations made in the report are raised against a certain group of people, and are based on what any fair observer would consider as rational evidences. Syria is a country is not accused in the report. Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador, but if you feel offended and/or accused by the content of the report, that’s your own business. I mean, you don’t need to take things that has nothing to do with you too personally, and, btw, you are not fooling anyone.
