Summary
A Financial Times article by Ed Husain dated August 23, 2011, arguing that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is unlikely to face the same fate as Muammar Gaddafi. The author criticizes President Obama's decision to call for Assad's removal, suggesting it strengthens Assad's position due to anti-American sentiment in the region. The document appears to be an exhibit from a House Oversight committee investigation.
