| #3 Assad has the same problem as Daffy. Keeping control in a large country with a geographically dispersed population, with only a limited number of troops he can rely on - apparently only division, commanded by his brother I think. |

| #1 So, this begs the question: When a dictatorial regime goes bust in the middle east, the dictators' families generally flee to Syria, so where does a Syrian dictator flee when his little ponzi scheme of a government goes bust? Will short round take him? With few alternatives for refuge, do you suppose Bashir is going the Mussolini route here? |
