But Syrians, passionate believers in Arab unity, also felt guilty about breaking the bonds. Wispy President Nazem El-Koudsi sighed, "The trouble with Syrians is that we are never concerned with just our own problems but with issues affecting all Arabs...
...President Nazem El-Koudsi, it was an old familiar tune. Coolly, he played for time, agreed to "consider" the demands if Nahlawi would negotiate at army headquarters. The talks dragged on for three crisis-filled days. Then, Koudsi mobilized his own forces, one night suddenly surrounded the army GHQ with armored cars. Colonel Nahlawi got the point.

Koudsi himself is a product of Coup No. 6, when nationalistic army officers last fall shattered the abrasive union of Syria and Egypt-and the Pan-Arab dreams of Gamal Abdel Nasser-with a swift, bloodless revolt. Elected Syria's President in December, he was then deposed and jailed by the army officers...
