Andrew Sullivan flags a propaganda video made by the Assad regime that uses Darth Vader’s theme as background music.
That would actually be a compliment to Assad; at least Darth was competent and cool-looking. The movie joke I have heard over and over about Bashar Assad in the Middle East is both more accurate and more painful:
“Syria is living the plot of The Godfather. Except in this version, after Don Corleone died, Fredo took over”.

I’m smart! Not like everybody says!
It isn’t Darth Vader’s theme. It’s the Emperor’s.
Yeah, its no conicidence that Libyans got fed up with Qaddafi during his Keith Richards stage. Before that, folks forget, he was the girl with the most cake.
