Damascus, Syria

Let your eyes wander past the carcass meat to the back wall. On horseback rides the eldest son of Syria's President: Bassel al-Assad. After the heir apparent died in a car accident, his picture was everywhere for years. Displaying it became a sign of regime loyalty even while his younger brother Bashar was being groomed to take over the family fiefdom. [1996]
