[March 2013] “In the name of democracy, the US government has supported a variety of armed opposition fighters in Syria seeking to overthrow that country’s president, Bashar al-Assad, who according to a wide variety of information sources enjoys support from the majority of the Syrian people. So to promote democracy in Syria, the US government has taken it upon itself to choose a new leader for Syria. This democratic answer to Syria’s problems lives in Dallas, TX, and was educated in Indiana. He has not set foot in the country he now ‘rules’ in more than thirty years. Also, he is an Islamist from the Muslim Brotherhood. That is what the US government calls ‘democratic legitimacy.'”
