| For whom power doth crush #2. Asma al Assad seals her fate as a pawn in a wider power struggle. 2011 |
By
vetoing the U.N. motion condemning savage bombardment of Homs city by
Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Russia and China opened a second front
line against the advance of the Democracy movement towards the vast Asian
Authoritarian Military Bloc.
Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang and
others fear democracy and citizen's freedom to criticise and protest.
They are simply not ready to concede to their citizens what we take
for granted in the free world.
In
unbelievable candour over such authoritarian privilege the London
Times reported on an email sent to the paper by Asma al Assad, wife
of the man who thinks its normal to send rockets, tanks and murder
teams to massacre Syrian citizens.
The
letter describes her support for her husbands regime. She endorses
his actions to suppress the uprising which began as a peaceful
protest demanding democracy. She approves indiscriminate killing of
men women and children without accusation or trial. Asma al Assad is
British born and knows very well the values of human rights over
wrong.

fled to Syria where
she raised
an army triggering a civil war. |
Authoritarians
who gain power are always afraid to lose it. By breaking her silence
over the 11months unrest she places her allegiance with the Assad
inner circle and the delusion of grandeur which accompanies dictators
who defend themselves against the country's own citizens.
There
will be no trial for Asma and her family, no court of justice. Just
the same fate as other dictators wives. Overwhelmed and disposed off by popular evolutionary revolution.
Asma
al Assad must realise Syria is now a pawn caught up in a wider
struggle pitching democratic West against authoritarian East
Should Syria's first lady have a change of heart as pleaded by the Times in its response to her letter she
may have only one option, to take her own life as a protest against her husband's own suicidal pact with
catastrophe. An end fitting to a tale from Roman antiquity.
