Bashshar Al-Asad grovels before Saudi crown prince

Look at this pathetic letter that Bashshar sent to the Saudi crown prince:  "تلك الرسالة «الحميمة» التي بعث بها الرئيس الأسد الى الامير نايف بن عبد العزيز بعد توليه منصب ولاية العهد في السعودية مؤكدا له فيها على عمق التقدير لشخصه ودوره في حل المشاكل الاقليمية". (...That "intimate" letter that Syrian president sent to Prince Nayif Bin `Abdul-`Aziz after assuming the post of Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia in which he affirmed his deep appreciation for his person and role in the resolution of regional problems.")  I mean can you believe such stupidity?  Saudi Arabia is leading the regional campaign against the regime and this guy still thinks that he can neutralize this prince or that.
