In the midst of a bloody and protracted civil war, the Syrian government is set to hold a presidential election Tuesday. The outcome is hardly in doubt: President Bashar al-Assad is almost guaranteed to emerge victorious in a vote that opposition groups and many Western countries say will be rigged from the start.

At least this is what CNN says…

Are there truly any elections which are not affected by anything?
Do we have free elections?
Who is easier to get rid of?
Someone like Assad or a member of the Congress who buys his days/ months/ yeats into cheating people?
Kings used to change much more often than people with power in democracies…

See beyond the surface.
And you will see ugly things…
