The Sweet and Deadly sides of Bashar al Assad. Theodore Dalrymple.
Good article – ‘the banality of evil all’ crops up again.
A point though – overthrowing these regimes is all very well but what are we replacing them with?
Libya is now mind boggling corrupt and violent. Ghadaffi was a nutcase, who had done some very bad things but actually he was trying to be our best friend when the US, UK and France suddenly decided to take him out – I have never quite understood why. He was sodomized to death.
Iraq? Was that worth it?
Tunis – Seems to be turning out the best.
Egypt – jury out. Personally I don’t see much good coming out of there for some time.
Anyway, here is the article on Assad.
