netWMD - Bashar al-Assad's Lebanon Gamble In Damascus, Bashar al-Assad is reportedly contemplating damage control by reinventing himself as a political reformer, unloading responsibility for his disaster in Beirut on corrupt associates and relatives. Bashar al-Assad's rigid Baathist perspective on Lebanon, in which opposition to Baathist Damascus can only be a fleeting product of external interference, together with his incapacity to conceive an equal Syrian-Lebanese relationship, suggest prolonged difficulties. Bashar has proclaimed that "the power and role of Syria in Lebanon are not dependent on the presence of Syrian forces there," [66] and the Syrian information minister has also dismissed the Syrian-Lebanese border as "phony."

Don't Underestimate Bashar Assad And Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, is struggling more than most as he contemplates the loss of Lebanon and his country's increasing international isolation. Mr Assad knows that the rare unity of purpose shown by the non-Shia Muslim Lebanese factions in recent days may not survive jostling over a new government, especially if divisions are encouraged from within. While his father, Hafez al-Assad, dominated Lebanon after first intervening in 1976 with US connivance, Syria's 14,000 troops and intelligence and security forces now face a humiliating retreat under diplomatic and popular fire. www.buzzle.com /editorials/3-1-2005-66464.asp   (652 words)

Assad Hafiz al-Assad expected the US to legitimize the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, which will also clear the Syrian drug and counterfeit trade as well as the income they provide for the Syrian ruling elite. The Syrian elite is afraid, and not without reason, that once Hafiz al-Assad dies, the Syrian Islamists will rise up, overthrow and slaughter the Allawite elite, and establish a radical Sunni Islamist government in Damascus. He is desperate to ensure that his son Bashar succeeds him and for the US to provide for both averting the collapse of the Syrian economy and the payoffs to the Syrian elite Bashar must make in order not to be toppled. www.free-lebanon.com /LFPNews/Assad/assad.html   (3299 words)

EDWARD DJEREJIAN: I believe that Hafez Al-Assad was really truly one of the last of a generation of Pan Arab nationalist leaders.

USCFL - Does Bashar Al Assad Rule Syria? On the contrary, in mid-2002, Bashar himself was quoted as saying, "Private banks pose a threat to the national economy." [14] The voice was the voice of Bashar, but the spirit was that of the senior ranks of the old guard, still devoted to the status quo. Bashar thought the uprising presented him with a golden opportunity to establish himself as the head of the radical Arab camp, or at least as the head of a state that had adopted an uncompromising stand toward Israel. Bashar is ostensibly in charge since he has the formal authority to make decisions, and it is difficult to identify any competing locus of power that poses a real threat to him or makes decisions in his stead. freelebanon.org /articles/a374.htm   (459 words)
