Give me a secular devil.

Assad could become a relatively good guy.  With proper tutoring. With innovative coaching. He’s decided already to give up his chemical weapons. That makes him less bad. More good. And in Syria, where he’s president, that’s a giant step in the right direction. Because all factions in Syria are bad, bad, bad. That includes the rebels. And the Assad regime. Therefore, it’s a matter of finding the less corrupt element. That could be Assad. Because he tends to take a secular approach to life. Better than being a religious fanatic, like most of Assad’s enemies. It’s better to have a secular devil as head of state than a religious devil. –Jim Broede
