A pale 6'2 man stood in the corner of an insulated bunker. His face was stricken with with old age and fear from years of unbearable stress. The battle maps he looked over no longer impressed or discouraged him because deep down he already knew what was to eventually come of his and family dynasty. Bashar Al-Assad has been fighting to maintain control of Syria for almost 4 years; in those four years more then 250,000 people have died, his country has been torn apart and controlled mostly by Islamic Extremists. Bashar's government once ruled this oil enriched middle eastern country with an iron fist, but now he no longer remains in control of the very lake named in honor of his family's rule; Lake Assad.
