Baby Assad and super-chutzpa

For too many years to count I was an unwavering follower of an old definition of ultimate chutzpa: to take a crap on the neighbors' porch and then knock on their door and ask for some toilet paper.

Recently, however, this cornerstone belief has been destroyed in one single blow:

Syria "roundly condemns Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and urges the international community to undertake urgent steps to put an end to these activities and to sanction those responsible," said a foreign ministry statement.
That's it. What will I do now?
