Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria. Arab masses don't back down despite severe repression



More Syrians take to the streets in Syria, not only in Deraa where there have been mass protests with violent reprisals by the state but also in Damascus the capital today. You can see more video here.  Syria is a Baathist regime like Iraq was before Sadaam Hussein fell out of favor with his US friends.  Jordan has seen mass protests and Yemen, with one of the most one trusted servants of US corporate interests in power is on the verge of a possible civil war.  The regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh is heavily armed and defended by an elite Republican guard trained and armed by US capitalism.  Video from Yemen here.
