"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Assad: Syria Ready to Help Implement Cease-fire Plan- VOA

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Wednesday he is ready to support a cease-fire in his war-torn country that is set to start Saturday.
Syria's state-run news agency, SANA, reports Assad told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a telephone call that he endorses the truce Russia and the United States agreed to earlier this week that calls for a halt in the fighting, except for continuing attacks against Islamic State, Syria's al-Qaida affiliate al-Nusra Front and any other militias designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council.
The effectiveness of the would-be cease-fire remains in doubt, however, with Syria's main opposition group, the Saudi-backed High Negotiations Committee (HNC) yet to commit to the U.S.-Russian plan. Combatants are required to agree to the "cessation of hostilities" by noon Friday local time, 12 hours before the truce is set to take effect.
