5733 Candidates to the People’s Assembly!

I guess this means that we have a free, fair and open democratic system.  Syrians of the world (because only the world will have you now) rejoice!

And if that’s not sufficient reason for jubilation, let’s celebrate the President’s recent assertion to the Saudi newspaper al-Jazeerah that only Syrian courts can try Syrian suspects in connection to the Hariri assassination. For this must mean that we have a just and impartial judiciary system.  Thousands of people in Old Damascus must feel quite safe knowing that. They have no reason to worry about anything. For when leonine justice prevails, that’s about the only thing you’ll have to worry about.

Yes, Leonine justice, well lets propose to build an ampitheater, and herd the Syrian opposition into it as entertainment in the morning, then followed by the dissenters, then herd those who have free will, and then the Syrian people.

But wait I forgot the basic tenet of Leonine Justice, a bigger smarter and more violent lion will come along and oust the King lion!
Just as I have waited for Godot, my eyes are cast over the horizon for Simba! Simba, Simba where for art thou Simba?

"Only Syrian courts can try Syrian suspects in connection to the Hariri assassination."
That statement just made me laugh...lol
Syrian Courts!!! When put together, these 2 words should be declared an "oxymoron" in the English dictionary.

Under the Assads, the words Syria and life, if not Syria and hope, or Syria and beauty, have become oxymorons.
