4) Buy $ - Fighting despotism, armed with a keyboard and modem (by Ammar Abdulhamid - Opinion)
 When I launched my blog on February 6, 2005, I never imagined that it would become an obsession of mine or a mini-phenomenon for many people interested in the region. Yet within months of the beginning, it became clear to me that blogging was destined to become an integral part of my life, perhaps for the rest of my life, and a basic pillar of my activities.

5) Buy $ - The delusion of a dialogue with Syria (by Ammar Abdulhamid - Opinion)
 Despite frequent claims to the contrary, the fundamental problem in the Middle East is not intervention by the West.

8) Buy $ - Syria's serial exporters of instability (by Ammar Abdulhamid - Opinion)
 What do the Assads of Syria think they are doing? Hardly a day goes by in the country without another activist being arrested, banned from traveling abroad, or sentenced to a long prison term.

9) Buy $ - A new Iraq is forming in Syria (by Ammar Abdulhamid - Opinion)
 Although Syria has for long been hailed as one of the Arab world's most secular countries and the heart of Arab nationalism, its religious and ethnic diversity has always been more complex than this image suggests.

10) Buy $ - Bashar Assad's moment of truth is now (by Ammar Abdulhamid - Opinion)
 On Monday, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1636 calling on the Syrian authorities to cooperate more fully with the UN probe into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
