#1 Bashar is probably upset the child wasn't a boy. On the bright side, he can use her as a bargaining chip in political marriages with neighboring countries.

#2 He's already got his crown prince. Another boy would have been a backup, but the girl's good for a dynastic marriage.

#4 I'll bet Clown Prince Abdullah would ~~buy~~ marry her - in the name of Arab unity, of course.

#10 Actually it could be the best thing that could happen to women in Syria. Let's remember that girls tend to wrap their dads around their little fingers early in life. Is a daughter thing!

Like the Jordanian King sister that as a teenager decided that she wanted to go to Sandhurts like her brother. So she convince her dad, the late king to send her there. She graduated and wanted like any hot blooded young subaltern to lead a paratrooper platoon. Alas, she was send to logistics instead but still no that many pricesses choose the military as a career. The last I hear, she was a Colonel. She is cute to booth.
