Nader Hashemi posted this to the critical Syria list and I agree, it is a MUST READ! This paragraph struck me as appropriate to cite here: When Raqqa fell to the rebels in March 2013, a city council was rapidly > elected. Lawyers, doctors and journalists organized themselves. Women's > groups were established. The Free Youth Assembly was founded, as was the > movement "For Our Rights" and dozens of other initiatives. Anything seemed > possible in Raqqa. But in the view of some who fled the city, it also > marked the start of its downfall. There was a failure to suppress counter-revolution. That's what happened to Raqqa.
