Bashar al-Assad: Daddy's little boy

One of my first blogs in 2005 advised reading with a filter. I also requested the readership to challenge my thoughts, and examine what I write based on a rehearsal of facts. Vogue magazine released an article which presented a propaganda whitewash for the al-Assad dynasty. Glossy page with good paper stock does not equate truth.

Bashar al-Assad is busy making history by repeating history. His daddy, slaughtered thousands in the city of Homs. Estimates run as high as 40,000 citizen-souls. Lowest estimates were in the range of twenty-thousand deaths. Like father, like son.

Butchers can no longer get away with wielding their axe blades now. And presidential wives cannot be cast in glowing terms when they remain silent regarding the citizen massacre orchestrated by their marital counterparts. While the al-Assad family frolics in Europe.... Asma al-Assad is the woman in a red dress: stained with the blood of her citizens.
