Ellison traveled with House Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] to [[Damascus]] to visit [[Syria]]n [[dictator]] [[Bashar al-Assad]] in 2007. The visit occurred despite protests from the [[US State Department]] and Bush [[White House]] for fear of delivering mixed signals to the Assad regime. ''[[USA Today]]'' headlined a story declaring the Democrat delegation brought "a message of peace for Assad".<ref>http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-04-04-pelosi-syria_N.htm</ref> In 2011, the Democrat regime of [[Barack Obama]], and [[Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] announced, "Assad must go", unleashing the [[Syrian Civil War]] which has claimed 300,000 lives. One third of all Syrians as of 2016 are homeless, and six million Syrian refugees have entered [[Europe]], straining the European social system. Bashar al-Assad remains firmly in power, now supported by [[Russia]]n troops in Syria.
