Thugs are humans too. They look as ordinary as any one else!


This blog is about dictators and their victims. It will be filled in time with information, but I think it will just argue things from a humanity point of view. The late dictator of Syria is shown above with his family. His oldest Son Basel died before him, and he was supposed to be the real inheritor, but fate made it that the tallest among his children became the new dictator, and he has been acting in total obedience to the example his father had left and wished for him to follow. Loyalty was never a trait of the late Assad, but his son is loyal to him. How lucky!

"Rifaat Waits for U.S. Go-Ahead

According to information obtained by Intelligence Online, Rifaat al Assad, who announced in May he would shortly return to Syria (IOL 501), sent a document to the American and Saudi authorites on June 12 outlining a plan to overthrow the Damascus regime.

His objective, he claimed, is to avoid a repetition of the Iraq situation.

Consequently, he is advocating a "peaceful putsch" that would see part of the Alawite elite which has remained loyal to him snatch power from president Bachar al Assad and put a halt to Ba'ath party rule.

In his document Rifaat called for the formation of a government of national union that would welcome opposition movements, including the Moslem Brotherhood. He advocated dismantling Syria's 11 intelligence and security agencies and claimed to have solid backing within the armed forces, and particularly among senior officers.

With regards Israel, Rifaat said he would be ready to make peace with Tel Aviv and cut off all support for terrorist organizations. Lastly, he pledged to cooperate with Washington in pacifying Iraq.

Obviously, all that would be music to the Bush administ- ration's ears. But while Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and the National Security Council are determined to bring about a change of regime in Damascus they harbor strong misgivings about Rifaat's capacity to deliver on his promises.

Active on the international scene, Rifaat is also cultivating his contacts in Syria. He is reportedly in regular contact with his nephew, colonel Maher al Assad, commander in chief of the powerful, 30 000-strong Republican Guard. But one of his leading supporters, general Bahjat Suleiman, head of the Internal Security agency, has just been fired.

Vox,

Basil is the short one in the middle. The one to his left is Maher, and the one to the far left of the picture is Majd (who is as many claim is some kind of a drug addict, but please don't quote me I personally don't know).
