U.S.-educated Kurd to lead Syrian opposition
Hopes for a peaceful, credible alternative to Syria's embattled government now rest largely on the shoulders of a U.S.-educated Kurdish businessman.
A Syrian opposition alliance elected Ghassan Hitto, an information technology executive, to lead its provisional government.
Hitto went to college in Indiana and lived for many years in Dallas.
The role of the provisional government he will lead will likely be spelled out at a Tuesday news conference by the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.

How bout them cowboys!
Little we understand the makings of the Syrian implosion. Create a demon and let the naive Americans float along that path of hate. Time tested recipe .
Iran's not going to be too happy about this one.
"ELECTED"????
Syrian opposition alliance elected Ghassan Hitto - who had studied and lived in the United States - to lead the opposition's interim government.
