Like a cloistered Cockroach, Assad has remained in place.
I’ve heard that his father authorized the killing and torture of even more citizens.
It’s the citizens of Syria that I have sympathy for.
This country has been under heavy bombardment for 10 years.
Even if it all stopped tomorrow (it won’t), it would take two, three generations to regain a more normal, functioning existence. Assad and Co. made unsympathetic characters years ago, but Obama made it worse.
Who do the Christians support and who do they fear? They support President Assad and fear cruel Sunni rule. Assad controls over 80% of the country by population and the Syrian people want everybody out including us.

You are dead wrong. Assad is one of the few leaders who drives around in his Honda Civic sans bodyguards or security because he is supported and loved by most Syrians.
We are the illegal invaders who have starved, stolen, financed terrorists, tried to destroy a cultural heritage.
Now we’re bragging about selling the oil we’ve been stealing.
It is beyond disgusting, and when Karma, reap what you sow bites us in the butt, I doubt the warmongers, politicians, and war profiteers will be the ones to suffer.
Everyone is aware of the effects, and hardship Texas faced this week. Our sanctions, seizing fuel, blocking fuel oil shipments to Syria has put them in an ongoing hardship many winters.
Our foreign policy sucks. And it has under both political parties.
I felt ashamed when I saw the prayers and fasting for “Our Brethren in Texas” from Syrian Christians this past week.
Bashar Assad was a tyrant. He ran the only Arab nation where a woman could marry or divorce who she chose, not have to wear a headrag, drive a car to Latakia beach, where she could dance to music on the beach, in a swimsuit while drinking wine made in Syria. After the party she could check into a hotel without male permission, and drive home to return to work or university as she chose.
A Syrian could freely be a Christian, any type of moslem, and even a Jew attending one of the last two Synagogues in Damascus. The elections were probably no worse than ours in reality.
Compare that to any other Arab nation and it’s obvious Assad was the most liberal minded of any Arab leader out there. And he practically embodies the enlightenment compared to the Saudi Government and monarch.
This was a Hillary, globalist, neocon project to overthrow Assad and install a sunni wahabbist government. To that end we created and supplied ISIS until they became too much of an embarrassment. They were supposed to overthrow Assad. We had to reign them in, now we are back to trying to make Assad Hitler and the Saudi King into Charlemagne.
