Got it. Assad is so awful the Saudis and sunnis must overthrow him. Remind me again annoy the thriving Christian culture in Saudi Arabia? In any nation that has endured a recent sunni revolt?
Syrian opposition = isis.

Assad was condemned for heavy-handed response to jihadi protesters. But, in hindsight, look at what he was up against. Maybe he ran a security state, but he protected minority sects. The jihadis murder them.

Down the hill from the shrine, a 70-year-old man sat under an apple tree. He told me that the spirits of miracle-makers had always protected the Alawites and would continue to do so. “We’re going to be just fine,” he said.

That...or slaughtered.
