No government in the world kills its people, unless it’s led by a crazy person.

Bashar al-Assad

To have opposition ? We have it, and you can go and meet with them. We have some of them within the government, we have some of them outside the government. They are opposition. We have it.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Government Opposition Some Within
Any American strike will not destroy as much as the terrorists have already destroyed in Syria ; sometimes the repercussions could be many doubles the strike itself.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Sometimes Strikes Terrorist
Everything else should be a piece of cake. Feel good, feel happy, feel healthy, feel loved, feel abundant, feel creative, feel compassionate, feel knowledgeable, feel powerful.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Acknowledge Everything Happy Powerful
You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

East Government Middle Player
We always say we have wishful thinking that the Unites States would be unbiased, respect the international law, doesn’t interfere in other countries around the world, and of course to stop supporting terrorists in Syria.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Law Thinking
Since the beginning of the crisis, since the terrorists started to control some areas within Syria, the majority of the Syrian civilians left that areas to join the government areas, not vice versa. If the majority of the Syrians don’t trust the government, they should go the other way.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Government Majority Vices
Whenever you have a war, the civilians and the innocents will pay the price. That’s in any war, any war is a bad war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Civilian Innocent Pay War
The fact that there are people who criticize me doesn’t mean that people hate me.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Hate Mean People
You cannot be desperate when the army is making advances. That should have happened – if we take into consideration that this presumption is correct and this is reality – you use it when you’re in a desperate situation.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Army Desperate Reality Situations
This is reality. If [the American officials] want to believe, that’s good, that will help them understand the region and be more successful in their policies.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Believe Reality Successful
I am Syrian, I was made in Syria, I have to live in Syria and die in Syria.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Dies Everything Made
When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Interest Mold Wanted
We’ve been living in difficult circumstances and we prepare ourselves for every possibility. But that doesn’t mean if you’re prepared things will be better ; it’s going to get worse with any foolish strike or stupid war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Mean Stupid War
Under Syrian law, a journalist is not allowed to report on military matters. This may be wrong or right, but that’s just the way it is.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Law May Military
Regarding fighting terrorism, we are ready to cooperate with anyone in this world with no conditions. That’s crux of our policy, not today, not yesterday; for years, even before the war on Syria, we always said that.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting War Years
We wouldn’t have withstood for two years and a half. We would have disintegration of the army, disintegration of the whole institution in the state.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Army Institution Jobs War
