Assad in Complete Denial
(CNN) Andrew J. Tabler - President Bashar al-Assad's interview with ABC's Barbara Walters portrays a Syrian leader in complete denial of the situation in his country. With the gap between the regime's perception of reality and that of the Syrian people and opposition (backed up by literally thousands of online videos and journalist reports), Assad's negotiated exit seems unlikely. Assad said that "We don't kill our people....No government in the world kills its people, unless it's led by a crazy person." It's now clear that Assad meets his own definition of crazy.
