 Syrian President Bashar Assad. - By Chris Suellentrop - Slate Magazine
When Assad came to power in June 2000, one week after the death of his father, Hafez Assad, many hoped that his ties to the West—the two years in London he spent training to become an ophthalmologist, his facility with English, his British-born Syrian wife—would make him a different kind of dictator.
Comments like those create the worry that Assad is not just pandering when he attacks the war in Iraq as a Zionist plot: He may actually believe it.
But if Assad is now the most popular figure in the Middle East among Arabs of an anti-American stripe, it's worth noting that before Assad, that figure was Saddam.

While Assad may take a hard-line against Islamists at home who represent his most cogent opposition, he has never failed to pour millions of dollars into the coffers of foreign groups such as Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
Landis's stance on Bashar Assad, which previously could have been dismissed as excessively hopeful and trusting, has become increasingly indefensible and odious as Syrian acolytes have embarked on a campaign of murder and terror in neighboring Lebanon.
Extolling Assad's willingness to free political prisoners, Landis often speaks of a cosmopolitan Syria where citizens freely organize and criticize the regime (remember, these are the same people incapable of living in a democratic system and who would impulsively slaughter each other in the absence of a tyrant).

 Mark Steyn on the Left on National Review Online
Back in his dad's day, Syria got the kid-glove treatment from the world's A-list suck-ups: When Hafez al-Assad expired, President Clinton said he was "saddened" by it, and offered his "condolences" to "the Syrian people." At least he didn't go to the funeral — Jacques Chirac did.
Baby Assad, before his present eminence, was a London eye doctor, but you don't have to be an ophthalmologist to see the writing on the wall.

 Peaktalk - ASSAD'S DILEMMA
I have always considered him to be a figurehead who out of loyalty to his father ended up in a job that he did not really want to take on.
The first option is unlikely given the mental make-up of Bashir and what he have seen from him so far, the second route would involve a shake-up of Syria’s leadership structure, withdrawal from Lebanon, resuscitate peace negotiations with Israel and move closer to the west.
He will have to take his chances and calculate what scenario gives him the best chance of long-term survival, my assessment, like Meryl, is that both the status quo and a move towards reform may lead to a very quick end for Boy Assad, as Mark Steyn affectionately calls him.
