As far as muslim country rulers go, Assad is not bad and did not genocide whole religions that did not believe as him. Yes, he would be a horrible ruler in the West. Nothing good will result in his removal unless Russia, NATO or the US stays there for 75 years.
This is true and a good post.
I don’t know whether he really used chemical weapons. So much conflicting info on that. When we first bombed Syria there was reports from Haley and Tillerson that we were going to have Assad removed.
They have kind of backed off that and said they will leave it to the will of the people, etc.
What I do know is the regime change there is going to be an unknown entity. Christians will probably lose.
> Assad is much better than what would come with his replacement...<
I think both you and Coulter are correct. Some folks are making the argument that Assad has to go because - among other things - he supports Hezbollah.
Well guess what. If Assad goes, Hezbollah will end up ruling Syria on their own. Yes, Assad might be replaced by a “moderate” government at first. But then Hezbollah (or the like) will sweep that moderate government away.
Just like the Bolsheviks swept away the moderate government that replaced the Tsar.
The Christians in Syria would agree with you.
