I'm not aware that any American policymakers have picked sides at all
on Armenia vs Azerbaijan. As for al-Assad, he's a sociopathic killer,
the worst genocidal monster so far this century.
There are far more Armenian-Americans than Azeri-Americans, which would have more chance of relevance. But ethnic affiliations have their limits. Rather few German-Americans admired Hitler.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Bashir Assad that a well-tied rope and about a seven-foot drop would not solve. The worst living genocidal monster is Haile Mengistu, former Communist butcher of Ethiopia. But he is from the twentieth century.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
