Nobody should make the mistake of trusting Assad or any of his family.
Nobody that knows him, questions that statement.
At this point, the US is throwing him a rope.
Why not? He’s better and more decent of a human being in every single way compared to the Saudi leaders.
In Assads Syria you can openly be a Christian, any type of moslem, a kurd, and there is even a very small historic Jewish group in Damascus. Women can go on a date, drive a car, and don’t have to wear a tent. You can sample locally made beer or have a whiskey or a glass of wine.
I’ll trust Assad over our Sunni “allies” any day.
