Bashar al-Assad, that's a name that rolls of the tongue doesn't it? Unsure who he is? Don't worry; we don't expect you to know. After all, he doesn't host a TV series on archaeological digs, have a range of puddings out in middle class supermarkets or own a Premiership football club.
Therefore he's effectively a figment of your imagination and not a concern to anyone. In Syria however, he's a household name where he's the president. Think Prime Minister David Cameron is a bit of dick with his policies? Compared to Bashar al-Assad, he's a saint. At least Cameron doesn't violently bludgeon peace protestors to death.
Whilst killing your own citizens is a grim subject that can't be made funny with any comedy vajazzling, surely there's something we can look at. Why would a man hurt his own people? Did he have a bad childhood? Even though we?ll never know the full reasons, his music collection won't ever put Bashar al-Assad in a good mood. He's allegedly a fan of annoyances like LMFAO and horse faced Leona Lewis.
