"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. "

As regional leaders shift stance, Syrian state TV aims rants at friends turned foes- CNN

(CNN) -- As former friends turn against Syria for its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, the country's state television -- the government mouthpiece -- has taken to insulting and belittling those regional leaders in scathing editorials read to camera.

Egypt's president, Mohamed Morsy, is "Mr. Thank You" for allegedly taking money from Western ally Qatar to betray Syria.

Qatar's leader Sheikh Hamad, who has spoken out against the bloodbath, is "nothing but a kitchen knife only good for chopping off onions."

And other Arab states that have called for military intervention are "NATO's orphans."
