the funny thing is that I was actually surprised ,I have heard people more than often say that it is hard to get information out of Syria, but being very enthusiastic for the establishment of diplomatic relations and following every bit of news that indicate a Syrian move in this direction ,I have experienced first hand just how much it is hard to know anything about what the regime is up to , to tell the truth in the last period I was very pessimistic and started to think that this whole talk was just a bluff by the regime and no concrete steps will be taken .
however after the official part of this is out of the way there is much to do ,I have been following the website of the Lebanese Forces recently and I have been discovering how much misconceptions some parties in Lebanon have about Syria ,and how this ignorant( sometimes can be described as racist )views and opinions reflect an existent sentiment in Lebanon that in turn affect the political positions taken by various political leaders.
I believe that unless some minimum bar of mutual respect is achieved there is no point in exchanging ambassadors, I know that my Lebanese friends will agree.
