I’d like to think that happiness wasn’t much of a consideration for the classical world, or for anyone else come to that, until the invention of America, but I suppose they wouldn’t have been forever telling us not to expect it had we not expected it. My hotel displays magazines recording the repression of Syrian Kurds. The windows are still covered in sand and the lift still takes 15 minutes to reach the 10th floor. But this is New Syria and life has changed in the Temple of Truth.And they call this place, I keep reminding myself, the Axis of Evil
More from Robert Fisk. The Syria Times has gone broadsheet and is as boring as ever.
“Cabinet Stresses National Unity” was one of this week’s headlines. But other papers are reporting Lebanese accusations that Syria was behind Hariri’s murder. Horses, I asked at the temple? Horses? “Yes, his paper’s called The Thoroughbred.” Big circulation? “The people of Damascus, Mr Robert, do not all talk about horses.” Indeed. Mohamed Salman currently “lives at home”, though no longer under house arrest, while Zuhair, whose neck was saved by Salman, now edits a newspaper about horses. Why only this week, the new minister, a cheerful, intellectual surgeon called Mohsen Bilal, recounted how he had often discussed my reports with General Ghazi Kenaan, the interior minister who last year unhappily blew his brains out at the height of the UN inquiry into the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri.To my shock, I found that both Adel and Ahmed had died of heart attacks in recent years Iskander is long dead. When I joked about the previous “iron rule”, there would be much back-slapping and praise for Bashar. “And in our offices at what you call the Temple of Truth, we will sit with cigarettes in our mouths, each watching our comrades from the corner of our eyes to observe their reactions to the death of the Great Leader.”On that day, the denizens of the Temple of Truth behaved in exactly this manner – there were, unfortunately, no rose petals on the graves of Tadmor – but, once Bashar settled into office, a carefully modulated Baathist breeze stirred along the corridors of the temple.
“In my native Tadmor, the people will go to the mass graves of political prisoners and throw rose petals on the sand,” he said. His chain-smoking detracted from his ascetic, cynical, literary approach to the world. Amid quotations from William Blake, Ahmed – who suffered from a weak heart – would explain Baathist teachings with a roll of the eyes and often prefaced his remarks with the words: “You promise me, Robert, you will never repeat what I say.” There would then follow a transparently honest account of life under Hafez el-Assad and – once – a description of how his colleagues would behave on the day the Great Leader passed away. A few hitherto craven Baathists then followed our example.I liked Ahmed, translator and “minder” to Zuhair’s successor. Along with a colleague, I broke the radiation belt by approaching Mohamed to ask after his health His look of relief was palpable. The following morning, a squad of workmen were seen dismantling the statue.
Next time I saw Mohamed he was under house arrest, freighted to a Baath Party Congress to vote for the leadership of Assad’s son Bashar in 2000, nervously sipping coffee in a corner of the room while his Baathist colleagues showed their fear of contamination by creating a 20ft radiation zone around him. Zuhair was eventually appointed press officer at his country’s London embassy, a post swiftly abandoned when the Brits discovered that the would-be bomber of an El Al airliner had been hidden by Syrian diplomats – not Zuhair – in London. Back in Damascus, he approved a visa to an American journalist who failed to tell Zuhair that he was also an Israeli and who filed a number of reports to his paper in Tel Aviv.Zuhair was dispatched to the lower floors of the Temple of Truth, protected only by a new minister of information, Mohamed Salman, a shrewd Baathist whose fall from grace was inevitable after he unveiled yet another bust of the Great Leader outside the Temple of Truth. When I asked him what it was like to wake up after the operation, he replied: “Part of me did not exist.” Tough folk, Baathists. These were also difficult days for Zuhair, Syria’s “director (sic) of foreign press” whose genial, kindly ability to wangle visas for ungrateful journalists – and whose “minders” shadowed all of them – was rarely rewarded. I had no doubt that Iskander had approved this very broadcast. But he beamed at me, thrust a cigar in my direction and said: “Only true friends could have this argument.”Years later, Iskander would go for cancer surgery in London where part of his brain was removed.

I think the Chiefs realize they have no threat in the wide receiver department other than Dwayne Bowe, and they need to give Matt Cassel some other weapons. You might disagree with me, but at this point, I see the Chiefs leaning heavily towards Crabtree with the third overall pick. I don’t think they’d add this much depth to the linebacker spot just to add yet another with a first round pick.I can’t say I’m upset about this either.

The two leadingproducers of multinutrient fertilizers, SumyChimProm and Krymsky Titan, (whichactually advocate the introduction of the antidumping measures), need anestimated 600,000 tons/y of phosphorites and 200,000 tons/y of potash salts.Experts say that if Ukraine takes these protective measures, Russia and Belarusmay retaliate, though the character of their response is not defined yet.
As cameras rolled and ministers watched from the Mansion House steps, a mere 60 police cadets tried to replicate a normally packed Tube train, and firefighters struggled in huge, cumbersome protective suits (so cumbersome, indeed, that in a real incident they are likely to be limited to 20-minute spells of duty in them).And, last year, the Environment Agency staged a vast, national flood disaster exercise. A “table-top” rehearsal, with 1,000 people and 60 services and agencies involved, it was broadly regarded as a success but threw up many problems: communications, uncertainty about who should do what, what role the military might play, where to find pumps, and more But even with the best-laid plans, disasters are like that. They catch you out.AVIAN FLU PANDEMICScenario: In South-east Asia, a worker on a battery chicken farm catches normal influenza At work, he is then infected with bird flu. The two combine, and the bird flu virus – type A, strain H5N1 – mutates into a form that can be passed from person to person A global epidemic – a pandemic – begins. One exception was the simulated poison-gas attack on a London Tube train at Bank station in 2003.Cynics may have smelt a whiff of Government “disaster PR” here. In an emergency, we must not neglect the most needy in society. That’s a tremendously important lesson for us.”Many other emergency plans have been rehearsed, though usually in “table-top” exercises where communications and chains of command are tested, with no actual activity on the ground.
“It’s an enormous undertaking to evacuate a city, but one of the early lessons seems to be that you must consider the most disadvantaged when making evacuation plans In New Orleans, they were just left there. The group has about 2,200 members from central and local government, emergency services, industry, utilities and government agencies.”We’re waiting to see what we may learn from Katrina,” says Asquith, who is the emergency planning manager for Worcestershire. Supplies can be taken straight through the checkouts, and billed later.More than 1,000 satellite phones have just been issued to emergency services and local authorities as an ultimate fall-back if all other communications become overloaded in an emergency, or fail. As in earlier civil defence legislation (in 1920 and 1948), the Civil Contingencies Act also allows the Government to assume emergency powers, in extreme situations and “as a last resort”. These could include imposing travel and movement restrictions, requisition of property, banning specified assemblies, and use of the armed forces. (The powers cannot, however, be used against industrial action or strikes.)Hurricane Katrina gave Britain’s emergency planners a stark example of the likely recriminations if things go awry – and a stark example of what they may have to cope with if climate change brings the extreme weather that is predicted.As it is obviously impractical to rehearse the evacuation of an entire city, the official reports on the New Orleans event may influence UK plans, according to Dr John Asquith, the chairman of the Emergency Planning Society, the UK’s leading professional association in the field.
Its roles include “horizon scanning” for possible threats to the UK. In a major emergency, the Civil Contingencies Committee is convened in the Cabinet Office briefing rooms – known as Cobra – and will usually be chaired by the Prime Minister or the Home Secretary. From here, a Government liaison team will be despatched to “Gold Command” at the disaster scene (typically led by a senior police officer, this could include up to 20 representatives from emergency, health, local authority, transport, the utilities and other agencies). Below this are a Silver (tactical) Command and a Bronze (operational) Command, which deals with the disaster scene itself. For emergencies on a wider than local scale, Regional Civil Contingencies Committees will convene at government offices around the country.Protocols have been agreed: all TV and radio broadcasters will transmit public information in an emergency (such as evacuation arrangements), in partnership with the Government’s News Co-ordination Centre. If emergency food supplies are needed, many local authorities have arrangements with supermarket groups to open stores – instantly – on receipt of a code word and county identifier, via a 24-hour hotline.
