Speaking of soccer...remember when some guy scored a scissor kick goal, and the Minister of Sports went on TV to tell us that this was a proof that Syria was one of the top futbol countries in the world?

Akh, I miss the bonjus though...those juices in the pyramid boxes..

Do you think that is the reason someone tried to assassinate him?

Assassinate Assad? When?

[jahannam]

I dunno who anon asked about, but Assad's SON is the one who they assasinated in 93 I think.
Basel Assad
he was preparing to be the next president
and even though the government never announced that he was killed (they called it a car accident kinda like the Lady Di incident)
he was definitely killed.
poor thing
he was very smart.
and good looking too.

Well, it wouldn't shock me if there were attemps to assassinate Hafez Assad too. In his 30 + years as President, he only visited the region of Aleppo once, because he is not well liked there. Many regional and religious conflicts still exist in Syria, and he was able to keep the peace by having an "iron hold" on the country. I'm not a fan of dictatorships, but in countries like Syria, things could get ugly if there is no one with a firm grip on power. Same thing in Irak, which is why I doubt that the new democracy thing will work very well. Something tells me that the americans are already well aware of it though...

Whoa there Baron. That was a clear attempt at a spill over into another thread topic. Admin is gonna have your ass for this.
