Another boring dictatorship?Reader comment on item: Hafiz al-Asad and Me Submitted by Aymenn Jawad (United Kingdom), Jun 13, 2010 at 09:43 Dr. Pipes: You state that Syria has just become "another boring dictatorship". Surely, though, with the new Syria-Turkey-Iran axis, that is no longer true? Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
