That's an interesting word choice by Assad's foreign minister:
"The issues of the president and the regime are red lines for us and for the Syrian people," the official SANA news agency quoted Walid Muallem as saying shortly before his delegation arrived in the Swiss city of Montreux for the talks.
"Nobody can touch the presidency."
A "red line." That's nice. Unlike our president's erasable "red line" over Syrian chemical weapons use.
The top diplomat of a small country at war with most of its people and which has lost control of most of its territory just b**ch slapped the most powerful country in the world over our powerlessness to do anything.
And this is called "restoring our reputation in the world."
Or it's "smart diplomacy." I lose track, sometimes.
