   Sameh Ashoor, chairman of the Egyptian Bar Association, does not know where to hide his shame. Yes, he took part in the gala convention of Arab lawyers in Damascus, which provided the stage for a speech by Bashar Assad, and he even "advised" Assad that even if the world lined up against him and demanded that he appear before an international commission of inquiry, "we would stop them by force." But there was also something reprehensible about the convention, as far as Ashoor was concerned.

   But Ashoor, who keeps a firm hold on his organization, which counts some 230,000 lawyers as members (and there were rumors before the presidential elections that he himself intended to run for the position) could not publicly respond. That job went to the shrewd Lebanese political columnist Ali Al-Haj, who garnered all the venom he could muster to lash out against the Syrian leader.
