Is Bashar a more of a leader then Bassel? A guy with Military skills or one with Logistical skills?
All documentary fail to state the underlying cause on why Bassel was selected instead of Bashar, since it does not have to be the eldest ruling, i.e, in the case of North Korea, Kim Jong Un was in the same position as Bashar, since he was not grommed to rule, but his older brother, Kim Jong Nam, was. But, he fell out with his Father by going to Disneyland Tokyo with a Dominican Republic Passport and getting caught! Bassel was ruthless like his Father. During his time in the military, whilst Bashar was all weak and feble like Nam, Bassel was ruthless like his father and Un. It was Calaf for Bashar to be President. If Bassel was controlling Syria now, i don't think there would be a war or it would have ended in day 1, with a eays win to Bassel! With Bashar, he created enemy after enemy and he even made the group that "So called" wants to topple him. Now we have Turkey running Armonk in Syria to kill its enemy's the Kurds. Russia who there for their own benefit, Iran to expand their global outreach. Bashar has over complicated things and it may come back to stab him in the back one day!
