| Description | From Stalin to Kim Jong-un, no dictator has ever been too brutal to find a few high-profile American friends, and Syria’s Bashar al-Assad is finding his this week: Former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is on a trip to Damascus this week with former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, where she praised the country’s free health care.
“I am in Syria now with former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, where residents enjoy free education and free healthcare,” McKinney wrote on Facebook on Tuesday. “Visited a Damascus hospital, the Grand Mufti, a school that has been turned into residences for Internally Displaced Persons. Ended the Day with Ogarit Dandash who founded “Over Our Dead Bodies,” a group of young people who climbed atop Mount Qasioun and dared U.S. bombs to target them. They are still there in defiant resistance to any war against Syria. Mount Qasioun should be the site of a peace party, not bombing strikes.”
The trip was organized by Clark’s group, the International Action Center, and included Dedon Kamathi of the All African People’s Revolutionary Party, and a Syrian-American activist, Johnny Achi, of a pro-Assad group called Arab Americans 4 Syria. |
