`Ali Farzat

Regarding this former close friend of Bashshar (who, like David Lesch of Trinity University in Texas, only discovered that Bashshar is a tyrant when he stopped returning his calls and emails): I have posted about his brilliance as a cartoonist (although he has failed to produce one good drawing in this Syrian conflict) but I wish that I did not get to see the other side of his personality which was only revealed during this Syrian conflict: that he is vulgar, crude, sectarian, low, sophomoric, and quite despicable.
