I am amazed at the dazzling double standard in this wanton assassination of government officials. Let me opine that hell and fury like you can’t imagine will now rain in these insurgents to the point of destruction of them, their families and their infrastructure aided ,I might add, by the Russian navy and army and air force. . Why do we pull for these murdering criminals? What has Assad done to this country? Zero.Is this a pretext to go fight Israels wars? I think it is and I am not going.
No one should have love for Assad, but he has done what he had to do to protect his entire ethnic minority in one of the most hostile areas on the planet. He is trying to save the lives of millions of Allawites. The Sunni's will wipe them all out. They have been trying for a few decades.
Yes, I know you are asking why is the US and NATO supporting Al Qeada and the Muslim Brotherhood along with highly trained assassins from the Sunni states ? The simple answer is we are being led by the criminally insane. They will do whatever it takes, no matter what the costs to humanity, to make a few bucks.
