When Security Is Paramount, What Happens To Reform?
Even announced plans to develop a “freedom square” in Amman to allow for citizens to speak their minds freely were erased from memory within a matter of months. How did people react to all this? Apathy. Because security was/is paramount.

Criticism
Professor Landis catches some flack for his recent proposal to threaten Assad with missiles if he does not agree to talks.
