Bashar al-Assad is a horrible person and violent leader. He represents a minority government of Alawite Shiites, who represent less than twenty percent of the country, depriving most of the citizens of Syria from having enough to eat, viable infrastructure, and Rights and Freedoms. He has periodically engaged in the violent repression of both the majority Sunni Muslims and Christian minorities. He is currently, shelling numerous Syrian cities like Homs because the Syrian Civil War and has no regard to the many civilians in his line of fire. His views are so callous that he recently used a chemical attack to kill 1400 civilians.

Who are some famous political leaders in Syria?
The most famous political leader is Bashar al-Assad, the current President of Syria. There is the vice-president Faroud al-Sharaa, and Sultan al-Atrash, the General of the Great Syrian Revolution.
Is the current president of Syria good?
To some Syrians who are Shiites, Christians, and some Druzes, yes (because these three benefited from Assad's secular dictatorship). However, to the Sunnis and Kurds, no. He is no different from his father, having the same paranoia that Sunni Islamist extremists might take power in Syria contributes to his brutality on anyone who opposes him.
Why won't this HTML button work?
It is <button type="button" onclick="alert('Bashar al-Assad. The name strikes fear and hate into many hearts, but it didn't always. In fact, Bashar was quite the gentleman before he took power over Syria. Quite unlike his brother, he cared about some human beings other than himself. His brother was groomed for power, so he always got what he wanted before he could blink twice. his brother died in a car crash (thankfully for Syria) and Bashar was put into office at the end of his father's 30 year rule. He is now the "elected president" of Syria. He is technically re-elected every term, but he is because he repeatedly rigs polls and tortures opponents, not to mention gassing rebels. So just why hasn't the US intervened? Is it because we're concerned for the safety of our men and women? Actually, yes. While the little band of militia still working for Bashar are no threat to us, WW3 is. If we attack them, they will whine to China, who has one of the biggest militaries on Earth and just happens to be supporting Syria, and they'll attack us, and France or England or some other decent civilization will attack them, and Iraq will attack them, and BAM! Death and destruction on a massive scale. Bashar al-Assad knows this, but there must be one shred of decency left in his heart, because it seems like he's trying to avoid it. He announced that Syria would be forfeiting their chemical weapons. Will they? You'll just have to wait and see.')">Bashar al-Assad</button> ------------------------------------------------------- You probably don't have your button linked correctly.

Is the current president of Syria a good president?
To some Syrians, yes. To other Syrians, no. As for me, no matter whether how good or bad you are, if you kill and slaughter people arbitrarily, you're going to face punishment.
What do Syrian people look like?
Depends on their ancestry. Syrians Mainly look Mediterranean White, like the Italians and Greeks--which is due to the Greek/Roman-Byzantine presence in Syria in the past. A good number of Syrians are just Arabized Greeks and Romans. Then there are some Syrians that look like Arabs from the Arabian peninsula, they are either Bedouin, or are descendants of Arab invaders of the 7th century. Keep in mind, Syria was not Arab until the 7th Century Arab and Muslim invasion. You'll also find many Syrians who are blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes- who are descendants of the Crusaders. Then there are the Syriacs, the native Aramaic speaking people of Syria; they either have a Mediterranean look from the mixture with Romans, or sometimes Semitic looking.
Do any middle eastern countries have a dictatorship?
Most Middle Eastern countries are autocracies of some variety, but they do not call themselves "dictatorships" even though they functionally are. You have Republican Dictatorships (Syria, Egypt - prior to 2011, Iraq - prior to 2003), Absolute Monarchies (Saudi Arabia, Oman), and Constitutional Monarchies with Strong Monarchs (Jordan, UAE).

Who are some important historical people from Syria and why are they important?
I had to do a report on Syria and when I saw that Answers.com didn't have what i was looking for I had to write it. As of right now Bashar Al- Assad is ruling, he is the president and he is republican. They are a republic government but are acting as a single party state as of now. Some people in history that were important were Alexandar the Great. He (along with other countries) conquered Syria in 333 BC. A time line of rulers included Akkadians (2300 BC), Amorites (2000), Hittites (1500 BC), Assyrians (700 BC), and that was when Alexandar took over. I hope this helped you!
How can the Governments who've sided with the Syrian Opposition remove Bashar al-Assad from power and put him on trial for his crimes without starting World War III?
The resolution to this would require some concession outside of Syria.For example, Iran and Russia want someone loyal to the Assad government in power, even if such a person is not necessarily Assad himself. They need someone with whom they can continue their report. In this sense, they might be willing to cut the head off the dragon, but keep the body with a new head. However, to accept this, they would need some other concession. The easiest one that I can imagine is lifting the sanctions imposed against Russia by the US and EU from the Ukrainian separatist crisis in Crimea, Donestsk and Luhansk. Russia would need to save face for losing Assad personally.The idea that Russia or Iran would accept anything as radical of a regime change in Syria as what happened in Iraq, such as the Free Syrian Army taking power, without US boots on the ground is ludicrous. Of course, putting US boots on the ground (while there are currently numerous Russian airstrikes in Syria that are not coordinated with US movement) is a sure-fire way to start an international incident.
