What do Bashar al-Assad, Saif Gaddafi and Raul Castro all have in common?
(We'd add Gamal Mubarak to the list also, but that family dictatorship is now history).
They're repressive tyrants who some (tragically) insist on labeling as supposed "reformers."
Yet, year after year, they give absolutely no indication of respecting any human or political rights whatsoever.
That leads to our Quote of the Week:
"Assad is not a reformer. Anyone who thinks so is at best fooling themselves, and at worst, serving as a useful idiot to a murderous dictator and a proud sponsor of terrorism."
-- Rep. Gary Ackerman of New York, the top Democrat on the House Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, Wall Street Journal, April 5th, 2010
