Mohammed Fadhil on a meeting between thug and (would-be) quisling:

The leader of freedom and democracy and the defender of human rights in the Middle East the elected President his Excellency Bashar Assad met the man of humanity and peace, the pioneer human rights ranger and the Gandhi of the 21st Century British MP George Galloway.

In George Galloway's braggadocio is a naked contempt for mankind: had the Briton's personal appeals for Saddam Hussein been granted two years ago, well-founded sarcasm would have led Mohammed to a Ba'ath dungeon. Still, Galloway belongs in the company of gangsters. As Mohammed suggests, Providence might notice and reserve for Bashar Assad the same fate as Hussein.
