A Small Sign of Hope in Syria

From ArabicNews.com:
4 opposition Syria parties and associations announced in a statement following a two- day meetings in Damascus the formation of a national coordination committee in defense of basic rights and human rights in Syria.
The reason for this encouraging development?
The great support given to the Kurds in Iraq from the USA stimulated the feelings of Kurds in Syria in directing them to play a greater political role under the current American pressures against Syria.
This story hasn't made it into the Western press.
