Thank you very much,Ayman.Unlike many Western reporters,you have been quite impartial and informative.You don't seem to have an ax to grind.This is how journalism should be.
Another DICTATOR has to go & his buddy Mahmoud Ahmadinjad in Iran. The world will be a better place. Amen.
This will be a biased session as has been the reporting.
Assad is the best ruler among most of the ME nations.
Compare him with the highly despotic, corrupt, bigoted, barbaric and beastly Sunni Saudi ruler with 5000 princes and princesses, Kuwaiti, UAE and other Arab League Sunni rulers matching their Saudi elder brother.
Repetition of Iraqi war dramas in Iran and Syria to increase oil prices by Saudis, oil companies and their lobbyists and their puppet politicians are being done in full swing.
Slowly oil supplies from Iran are being choked. Now it is free for all and at the mercy of Saudi & co.
Wait for the oil prices to shoot up to $200 a barrel this time.
Just as in Iraq, oil rich Sunni seventh century bigoted Saudi barbaric and beastly rulers and their Sunni pals (Kuwait, UAE and others), oil companies, lobbyists and Jewish mad people (Netanyahos and co) are repeating their seventh century desert dances through their cheap US puppets on Iran and Syria.
jonathan...what could you be smoking?
Assad 2's regime is a brutal as Assad 1's and both supported by Russia. Is that why Putin will be a no show
at the G8 Summit this weekend in Chicago? I would never have figured him for a wuss. He did make a
trip to Israel in 2006. which was unbelievably great of him. I believe that is the correct date. Maybe he is
in Hollywood, seranading actress Sharon Stone.
