Charlie Rose 04/12/12: Assad's UN ambassador claims that Syria are the only true Arabs. Of course he also said that all the ills in Syria are the fault of the Jews and Syria is a victim. It is like listening to a Lourdes Garcia-Navarro interview --a world where parallel lines intersect wherever they want them to meet.

He is still far better than the alternatives.

If the alternative is the muslim brotherhood and similar sunni terror groups then maybe you are right. But like libya and egypt where the opposition to the govt cried out for more freedom and democracy the people ended up with hard core islam.... Certainly a long distance from more personal freedoms and democracy

He knows what had happened to Ghaddafi and Mubarak. If anybody exects him to transfer power, then this person is naive like a newborn

The Assad Regime Is Close To "Coup Proof" The Obama administration along with its Arab and European allies are trying to push Syria’s leader from power, but US officials acknowledge that they see no good candidates to replace him, either inside the government or from the nation’s fractured opposition. ourchangingglobe dot com/can-syrias-president-bashar-assad-be-ousted change dot to a . and remove the spaces.

THE ARAB COUNTRIES RULED BY GENERATIONS OF DICTATORS,LOVERS OF THEMSELVES AND POWER,LYING,STEALING AND KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE TO KEEP MONEY MANDATES AND TRICK THE MUSLIMS USING FALSE PROPAGANDA TO ISRAEL AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THEIR SINS,WHY ARE JEWS GUILTY OF THE AMBITIOUS EVIL ARAB SHEIKS?

And what is about Ben Ali?

So, are his children inside of Syria or outside of Syria?

LIbya yes, Syria no, Iraq yes, Iran no... Nations operate in their own interest. Really they must. To not do so would to not exist, as a state. Biology as the end-all be-all.

Robert Mugabe wins the gold medal by a country mile. Assad is a distant second.

for their political patience. theyll bleed you, your ideas and your plans dry and always get their way. I know im half syrian. They won in lebanon against mighty odds, In gaza in 2009 and trust me they will be resurgent in west bank again, in iraq they bled the americans and now have a strong ally in maliki and domestically they are as powerful as thor with the hammer :)

13 months ago Obama and Clinton worshipped Assad, sparing no effort to show him deference and respect while humiliating the Jews. The Israeli Left (including self-styled genius Ehud Barak) were making every effort to give the Golan and half of Kineret (more than half of Israel's water) to Assad. Suddenly, they realize Assad isn't so nice, something the Zionists have been saying for years. Now, Obama, Clinton and Barak still cling to power, ignoring the piles of corpses they themselves helped make.
