al Assad - Dasha Zaitseva/Gazeta. R |
The sudden departure of Assad seems to have caught everyone by surprise. The situation seems to be chaotic at best. Don't want to speculate what's going to happen, but this might be good time to review what led to this situation. Here's some stories I can across today:
- Assad’s collapse was coming – everyone just looked away by Vitaly Ryumshin
- Families search Syria’s Sednaya Prison for loved ones after al-Assad’s fall
- The Syrian mess - Bayou Rennaissance Man
- Syrious Change - The Assad Regime Falls - The Shekel
I do wonder why most every country outside of North America and Europe seems to be run vicious thugs. Is that the only way they can keep a lid on things? Are their populations just more naturally fractious? Are they stupid? Has the heat fried their brains?
Or maybe I just haven't seen the light. If I had, I would know in my heart of hearts that the Grand Poobah of Lower Elbonia was the voice of God and that I should kill all the infidels. I'm sorry, I can't. I am too indoctrinated with the liberal ways of the West. Christ almighty, my wife not only drives, she has her own car.

I imagine in most of those thug run countries 95% on the population is concentrating on their job or their crops, just trying to keep a roof over and family fed. Not enough spare time to be worried what's going on in the capitol and can't do anything about it anyway. The thugs can battle till the cows come home making headlines around the world but have little effect on the commoners who keep their head down.
