16. It's perfectly safe to keep all the evidence of your life as a member of the Syrian Secret Police in a box in your wardrobe; your wife will never find it.
17. Ex-members of the Syrian Secret Police don't blink twice when they work out that their "nice" daughter has been cheating on her boyfriend/fiancé with a married man.
18. This may be because young women who find out that their father used to be a member of the secret police don't wonder how many people he has tortured and killed in the past.

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.
