He cannot do that. They tell their people they are anti monarchist , while they all want to install one of their own , by force and intimidationIf BasharAl Assad changes his title to King of Syria will he be more legitimate?
Bin Saud was a tribal leader , and so is the King of Saudi Arabia .He is the King because all the other tribes in Saudi Arabia are okay with that . Hafez al Assad was a peasant just like Saddam Hussein and the rest of them . Imagine if I were to kill my tribal leader , proclaim myself as the new sultan and cut the throat of anybody who would stand in my way . If anybody would question the people in Saudi Arabia in a survey I am absolutely convinced the majority would vote in favour of their monarchy . It is always people form the outside { non Saudis} that talk crap about the Saudi royal family.
