This tripe is passed off as "analysis" in Murdoch's The Times:
"Middle East experts used to wonder whether Bashar al-Assad was the Syrian equivalent of ruthless Michael Corleone, the savagely conflicted son of The Godfather, or his wimpy brother Fredo Corleone ('I can handle things! I'm smart!'). Seven years into a war that has left half a million corpses, 6 million Syrians internally displaced and more than 5 million as refugees abroad, Syria's President seems to be Don Corleone and Michael rolled into one." (Assad proves all Corleones are bad, no matter what the spin, Roger Boyes, The Times/The Australian, 22/02/18)
Seriously now, Roger, old chap, name one - just one! - credible "Middle East expert" that "used to wonder whether Bashar al-Assad was the Syrian equivalent of... Michael Corleone"?
Roger...?
