Praising Assad

For John, BLUF:  We elect some strange people to Congress.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

You can't make this stuff up.

President Assad is preferable to many of those who are seeking to overthrow him, but he is a thug.  He learned those lessons from his father, who was a thug.  On the other hand, I expect that in his previous life, in England, Bashar al-Assad was an excellent Ophthalmologist.
