Discussion on Political Leadership and Governance

We want to go kiss Bashar's foot. At least the evil is beneath him.

Me, man? I'm a man of dignity and honor. Man, I want to kiss your boot.

Yours.

Who says we weren't living well, man?

We're the ones who brought ruin upon our home. It's our fault, we disbelieved in God.

The regime is more merciful.

Yes, by God, it's more merciful.

Don't mess with the throne. Don't meddle in politics, just live your life.

Want to drink? Get drunk. Want to go to Qbeis? Go.

Want to throw a party? Do it. Want to hold a mawlid? Do it.

Bring the sheikh you like and keep beating the tambourine until you're dizzy. There.

Want to get married? Do it. Just don't go near politics.

Whoever asks where you're going, tear him apart. The regime is more merciful.

There's State Security, Military Security, Political Security, and Criminal Security.

Yes, what did these innocent people who are dying do? What did they do?

You have no religion. We have religion.

Yes.

May Bashar al-Assad remain our ruler until we meet God.

His rule, not yours, you dogs.

Assad's rule, not yours, you sons of sixty

dogs. I'm visiting you in your father's place.

Yes.

Brother, Hafez was our pride.

I'm one of the people, and I'll gouge out the eyes of anyone who says the government is right.

Keep both your eyes, and I'll gouge out the eyes of whoever knocked you to the

ground. Yesterday, you were honored and respected, nobody dared knock on your

door.

If someone says good morning to you, you get upset, go and complain about him, and bring

the police to arrest him, then keep beating him to your heart's content.
