#1 I am so disappointed. With Assad for even letting this piece of political feces into his country.

#2 $4.00 and this honary degree will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

I wouldn't get too excited, this honorary degree isn't any honor.

#4 Fascist tyrant honors German prime minister who sided with other fascist tyrants.

Surprise meter reading "off-scale low."

#5 Honorary degrees usually cost a university building or a fully funded Chair. Granted, Herr Doktor (Hon.) Schroeder worked for Gazprom (I think) for a bit, but German pensions are not the kind of thing wealth grows from. Hmm...

#7 Mebbe Schroeder bestowed an Iron Cross 2nd Class on Alois Brunner while in Syria. Mebbe Gerhard, Bashir, and Alois had dinner together to discuss "The Good Old Days"...
