Riiko: How is the situation in Damascus

Iman: We've had no electricity at home for three days, only in my office we have power sometimes. It has been snowing since yesterday, today people are playing in snow and the schools are not open and the exams have been postponed.

Riiko: They could postpone the war for the weather too.

Iman: It's snowing hard but I can hear the sound of explosions and the fighter jets. At least people are enjoying with the snow a bit even though it`s soooo cold.

Riiko: You still don't want to leave?

Iman: My brother and me are planning to visit Beirut next week. We are thinking about leaving the kids there.

Riiko: I'm chatting to Homs too, people are there happy with the snow, too.

Iman: I`m sure, I know what snowing means to Syrians,
they stop everything to play.

Riiko: Even the salafists?

Iman: I don't have any salafi friend, I can't be sure.

Riiko: White snow is obscene on a black burqa.

Iman: I agree. The salafi don't play usually, so I don`t think they like snow.

Riiko: A snowball fight would be good.

Iman: Did you see the picture of the snowball fight with my niece?

Riiko: Yes, looked like lots of fun!

Iman: I'm Syrian and I'm fighting now.

I have established the Group of Friends of the American People which is an international collective of people, countries and bodies convening periodically on the topic of the United States.

The Friends of the American People send a strong and unified message that the Obama regime’s escalating violence is an affront to the international community, a threat to international security, and a grave violation of universal human rights. The violence must end and an anti-imperialist transition begin.

We must stay on the path of peace. We must stand against those leaders, including Obama and his troops, who use violence instead of negotiation. And I am convinced that Obama’s days are numbered. I just regret deeply that there will be more killing before he finally goes.

I'm not going to list neither the most annoying parodies of Gangnam Style nor my favorite civilians murdered by the Syrian FSA islamist insurgents during 2012 but as a present from the Three Kings of the Orient (here in Spain, the kids received this morning their Christmas presents) I give you a list of the 12 books I bought last year but didn't read.
