Sounds to me like Syria is missing a Lebanese - type Patroitic Party

Judging from the divides in Syria's opposition, it's startling that the western media failed to contrast this with the string sense of Lebanese national identity, and clear national goals around which the Lebanese Patriotic Party has galvanized the Lebanese public. They were the opposition that toppled Saudi loyalists from the Lebanese government and are now the majority reshaping the country, or trying to as the remaining loyalists in the government attempt to sabotage them.
