I enjoy listening to speeches by Bashar Al Assad because he says things in his speeches that no Arab leader says or has said in a long time. Things like 'if peace is not achieved then our only means to get back what has been taken from us by force, will be through resistance', or 'Resisting occupation is a national duty and for Syria to back it up is a moral and a legitimate duty and that supporting it is an honor for us" are things that any body in this region likes to hear. Still in many cases what is being said does not match the reality on the ground...
