The following is an open letter to Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria.
***
As the famous Ibn Khaldun phrase goes, "The tyrants bring the invaders".
Bashar al-Assad, you are truly are a pied piper.
For only you can bring tens of thousands of Iranians, Iraqis, Lebanese,
Afghans and Pakistanis to fight your battles on the ground (because for
years now, you've been unable to find enough Syrians to fight for you)
while claiming that you're defending Syrian "self-determination".
You can boast unashamedly of how you valiantly "recaptured" cities such
as Aleppo, while the foreign forces representing you on the ground
boasted of their greater importance than your vastly outnumbered rump army.
These forces were of course dominated by "secular" and "non-sectarian"
border-crossing anti-Islamists - such as "The Nobles of the Party of
God" (Hizballah al-Nujaba), the "Imam Ali Brigades" and "The Party of
God" (Hizballah).
You can engage in conspiracy theories about the "plot" against you
through your friends in Russian and western ("alt-right", and
unfortunately, much of the "alt-left") propaganda outlets. But the real
conspiracy has always been how the "democratic world" allowed you to
employ a genocidal scale of violence in the 21st century.
You can - quite literally - say that "millions" of Syrians rose up
against you in 2011, though you claim all were sympathisers of "Islamic
extremists", while actually sectarian militias from seven different
countries fought your battles on the ground.
