Well then, it’s a good thing that Assad has that ophthalmology background. Not many dictators have real-world career opportunities they can fall back on, and lets face it, being a specialist (like an ophthalmologist) can certainly be a lucrative career.

Always good to have something else in case that whole dictator thing doesn't pan out.

I’m being (semi) sarcastic, btw.

Hold that sarcasm...

One of Sadam Husein's torcher doctors was found to be working for the British National Health System.

Wait until it all goes to crap in Syria, then take out Gaza, force all the Palis into Egypt and consolidate.

After that, any attack on Israel from Egypt will be an act of war. And Syria would be neutralized because they will be having their own issues.

Heh. Working for the British National Health Service?

Well at least the good doctor still had a chance to practice his trade and his hobby!
