Not So Fast, Madame

 I just heard a five or so minute interview on the BBC where a woman representing Assad kept yelling incoherently about the west sending aid to Turkey, and why weren't they sending aid to Syria.

Every time the BBC guy tried to say something she would start yelling.

He did try to make the point that there really isn't any parcel of land that one would currently call Syria, from a discrete governmental point of view, at least, and that, in any event, the west is sending copious aid for the geography formerly known as Syria to a variety of NGOs.

It took him some time to assert that over her constant yelling.

The essence of the yelling was that the west needs to send s bunch of money to Assad so he can take care of his people.

I hope we resist that proposal.

I think he has already taken sufficient care of them.
