Message to Asma Assad

I heard about it on the radio yesterday. She was asked to 'talk to your husband, please!' I'll watch it on YouTube.

That is a very moving video MaggieP. Thank you for putting this up. It had passed me by [shame]

I wonder if it will do some good. Or is she scared of him too?

That poor little confused face at the end is heartbreaking.

I hope some help can come to those people. Although the dead can't be brought back.

Very moving - have signed

Great to see you back again, iamjingl!

You need to scroll down a bit on that page. It's the one where it says 'four minute video' in blue letters. Not the first video that appears on the page.

I think Asma Assad has already been on the internet saying how much she supports her husband and I think her and her husband's personal emails were hacked recently and showed that throughout the violence in Syria she has been busy internet shopping for expensive items to titivate the Assad home in Syria. Her father, who lives in the UK has also spoken out supporting his son-in-law.

The Youtube item is a nice gesture but I doubt it will do more than help the participants feel that they have at least made an effort to help the Syrian people under attack from the government

I agree, FlicketyB. She comes across as a cold fish and I don't think the appeal will have any effect on her - certainly not to the extent that she would attempt to influence her husband. They're both cocooned in their own little world.
