The Lechers of the Rectangular Table in Damascus

It's really such a zealous sensation one gets whenever reality emulates longed for fiction. However, the emulation's results on innumerable occasions are greatly disappointing; serving as a reminder of the unalterable sordidness of reality.

We have all heard about the renowned Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur in English mythology, and particularly the Round Table in that spectacular edifice. Arthur's greatest Knights sit at that round table, symbolizing equality; as no one would seem more notable than anyone.

According to Sana (Syrian Arab News Agency), this repulsive picture shows representatives from the different "licensed national opposition parties" during a meeting they're having in Damascus. As you can see, there's a gigantic poster of the butcher Bashar Al-Assad, the illegitimate president who's undisputedly responsible for the killing of hundreds of thousands of women and children and the displacement of millions. The caption on the poster says: "There's no substitute for you that would guarantee security and stability."

"Opposition" leaders residing in the country are having a meeting in a room where there's a picture of the man they're supposedly opposing, with a caption that clearly suggests how fruitless their meetings are; since they acknowledge that they'll eventually fail to find someone else to fill in his place.

Instead of the Knights of the Round Table in Camelot, our reality begot the Lechers of the Rectangular Table in Damascus; for this has got to be the epitome of political licentiousness.
