During a four-hour conversation, his words on terrorism and regional tensions were occasionally leavened by banter. At one point, in discussing Soviet-U.S. relations, Assad suggested that only an extraterrestrial power could make peace between the superpowers. He then went on, unexpectedly, to speak of his long-standing interest in UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, which he takes quite seriously. Excerpts from the interview...
