TextSyrian President Bashar al-Assad has said he does not feel guilty about up to 4,000 deaths in his country that occurred during security forces' crackdown on protests. Speaking to the ABC network, Assad denied ordering his forces to kill protesters: "I don't own them. I am president, I don't own the country so they are not my forces. [...] "No government in the world kills its people, unless it's led by a crazy person." "Some officials" made "some mistakes," Assad said, assuring that they had been disciplined for their actions.

Asked by interviewer Barbara Walters whether he regretted the violence, the president insisted he had done his best to "protect the people": "I cannot feel guilty when you do your best. You feel sorry for the lives that have been lost. But you don't feel guilty when you don't kill people. So it's not about guilty." Assad also denied that some of the worst reported violence had happened. Asked about the case of Hamza al-Khateeb, a 13-year-old boy arrested at a protest whose corpse was later photographed shot, burned and castrated, Assad said he had met the boy's father and been assured that his son had not been tortured. "We have to be here to see," he said. "We don't see this."
