You’re addressing members of the Arab Spring, the same folks that overturned Libya, Egypt and Mubarak. These are the fellow travelers of those who killed Ambassador Stevens.
I think Assad was bad too, but these aren’t just simply freedom fighters. They are al Qaeda and ISIS.
As another FReeper pointed out to me. Assad actually left Christians alone. The people who are against the government now, are not. They kill Christians.
So many times we watch, as what we thought was the worst government possible, is replaced with something worse.
Remember Iran? Egypt is no better off now. I’m not sure Libya is either.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I almost miss the old days when Saddam Muammar Gaddafi Assad and other strong men Were in power. they certainly funded terrorism but they didn’t send armies of thousands over to head across the border.
