#1 Eh. The US is a source of instability in the US, too, but we don't whine about it. It's called "freedom".

#2 Er, um, Note to Baby Assad. Sounds like you are concerned about those Army and Marine troops on the border with Iraq. As a secular ruler, you might want to contact your court Imam, and see if you can get some dispensation, and thus your allottment of virgins.

#3 1. Stable and tyrannical.
2. Unstable and non-tyrannical.

1 is going to 2. Like it or not here it comes. Assad: your dirty little business is coming to an end. Go have a heart-to-heart with Mo. He knows the way the wind blows...

Hey, Assad:

Boo!

#6 Yes we are, and thank goodness for it.

Just remember, Baby Assad, you too can end up in a septic tank. If you're looking for "stability," I understand their walls are real stable. Just ask your buddy Saddam.

Hey, that gives me an idea for the first legitimate wage-earning job Saddam ever had: he could be a spokesman for a septic tank company!

Maybe he could earn enough to pay his lawyer.

#7 Hey, Syria, we're more than a "source of instability", we're gunslinging, god-fearing, freedom-loving sons of Andrew Jackson swinging our Size 13 steel-toed boots at all the carts filled with rotten apples you have had standing around for decades.
