Assad was friendly to the US after 9/11, provided some torture sites if I'm not mistaken, and he is unfathomably wealthy AND connected deeply - he's not an Aristide to be kidnapped by US Marines and dumped off in Africa. Like Noriega and Saddam and Castro - he knows where the bodies lie, so to speak. There is a youtube video we used to look at, at work, to motivate us, of some female Syrian Army cadets biting the heads off snakes in a fury of patriotic passion. It is a little country but not easily fucked with.

I guess they could put Assad on the Tree of Woe
