Uploaded by: AlJazeeraEnglish
Video Description:
The Arab League's annual summit is taking place in Damascus. But some countries are boycotting the event, accusing Syria of meddling in Lebanese politics. Sir David is joined by Jihad Makdissi, a spokesman for the Syrian Embassy in London, who says the summit is about the Arab people and not Syria. Also in this part of the show, Sir David talks to David Frum, a US political analyst, about John McCain, the Republican candidate in the US elections.

Jihaad you are a good speaker and we do appreciate your talk ..
Thank you David...
PEACE...
goes to show that all the arab nations like Lebanon more that Syria, the biggest terrorist country along with its best buddy Iran
from my point of view, it's really regrettable that many Arab nations boycotted the summit after KSA, a "messenger of the U.S.", called their neighbours not to visit Damascus.
really sad cause the Arab unity was dispersed only by the American power and a few sovereignity decisions by several nations.
the lack of unity could be the largest weakness toward the enemy, i guess.
