Hail, Cesar

Today, the Bashar al-Assad regime is accused of deadly gas attacks against hundreds of the people it claims to defend. Time will tell the truth if interests allow. If we understand what Mr. al-Assad´s broader interests are we can understand that this national savior has a dark side. In Spain these days the al-Asssad property worth is under investigation. Controlled overtly by an uncle, that  fortune is estimated at some 739,000,000 euros.  Mr. al-Assad is only one of many world leaders who have amassed wealth. Former Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide is estimated to have sat on a personal fortune of more than $800,000,000. Then we have the case of the Obiang family in Equatorial Guinea. The nation has a per-capita income as high as Switzerland but 78% of the population lives below the property level. Of course Mr. Noumea Obiang himself wields wealth of some 700,000,000 dollars while is son Teodoro was  prosecuted for money laundering  some euros 200,000,000  millions in France.  Who knows what the financial reality of some of our most outstanding leaders when some one as beyond all doubt like Vladimir Putin is considered one of the world´s riches men. What amazes me is that people like the doctor from Damascus and vermin like him have time to treat scores medically while running his economic/financial empire abroad? I guess that if we don´t give Cesar his worth, he will feel justified in just taking it!
