Miss Syria Sarah Nakhle, competing for the title of Miss Arab, expressed her support for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad during a question and answer session.
During an interview with Egyptian TV the brainless beauty queen pointed out that Assad was an opthamologist, and as a doctor he "wouldn't hurt an ant."
She also said "Everyone is asking me whether I am a Sunni or Alawite or Druze and Christian, I am Syrian, and religion is for God and the homeland is for all. "
Miss Syria gave advice for all girls to have confidence in themselves and to be natural beautiful and stay away from cosmetics and skin care and pay attention to healthy eating.
Miss Syria ended up in fourth place in the competition. It is unclear how she was nominated to begin with. (Well, a little unclear.)
