BASTARD AL-ASSAD
When a dictator says "sorry", like Syria's chief thug al-Assad mumbled
yesterday over the shooting down of a Turkish jet, it is out of fear of reprisal
from a stronger foe, or being found out of his ferocious infamy.
The cynical ploy of the blood-thirsty ruler of Syria is only credible in
the halls of the Kremlin or the UN any longer. The rest of the world knows that
only apprehension and death can stop this hoodlum, hunkered down inside his
bunkers in Damascus.
The hope of the world rests on Turkey. The enlightened leadership in Ankara
is increasingly out of patience to have to deal with border skirmishes and the
steady stream of refugees. Assad senses this growing impatience, and heightened
state of alert and readiness to attack in Turkey, and tries to back-paddle from
the belligerent act of the shooting down and killing of two pilots.
The time to act is now. Dozens of Syrian civilians are being slaughtered
each day by the infamous regime. The killing of a tyrant is a just cause.
