I know that Syria is in trouble. The ability to sew all of these individual pieces together is really daunting.

At the one hand, we have all had enough of the police state and the oppression.

I have been jailed for twenty years now. Unable to get a job, constantly surveyed by the police. If I ever get a break, they throw all of their resources into trying to break me.

They have killed my mom, tortured my children.

So I know EXACTLY how you feel with the oppression of Assad.

The question is; how do we make sure, that we get a system that allows for the freedom of all the citizens?

Here I can use my own experience with the ups and downs of states.

I have been working on the EU, my own country Denmark, the US, the UK, France.

Here is some of my reflection to use.

First of all, each ethnicity needs their own state for the federal level to work.

The Kurds should live in a place where they are secure, have their culture protected. This they should be able to do with their OWN security forces. The police should be on state level.

The military however can be drafted from each state, but, and this is very important. The military should be a LEAGUE. Each state should contribute with their own brigades.

The parliament then can work on things that is good for all; economy, climate changes and what makes sense from a federal perspective.

All states are prey to moral corruption. People steal and amass riches, the police become systems of oppression, if we are not careful.

This is best dealt with with an ombudsman. A VERY powerful institution, that has the ability to push the corruption down.

This is where we put our rebels and the best of us.

The thinkers and social reformers. Those who have shown, that they are NOT corrupt.

So, go to the prisons and find those rebels who wanted a better democracy, and give them a lot of power. Of cause, make them responsible. But a powerful institution to keep the corruption out of the state is really important. The ombudsman here in Denmark is ok, but they have too little power. So the administration and the police keep on doing their corrupt things anyway.

In Sparta, they were called Ephors.

This is a way to ensure, that Syria gets back on track.

I will keep working for your betterment, and support you, to the best of my ability.

I am still in prison, but at least, I can help you be free.

G-d bless the will to be free.
