Need I remind you that Russian ally Syria blew up the Marines in Lebanon, and that the USSR/Russia created the worldwide terror movement, including the entire modern jihadist movement, then later had it bite them in the ass, even as they continue to support it?

That's false -- the hizbullah did it, not Syria. Yes, a technicality as they got their weapons from Syria and may have been following Syrian orders, but let's be clear, the suicide bombing was done by hizb'allah

In contrast, look at the killings by Sunnis and realize that THAT is where our enemies come from -- Saudia and pakistan.

The best outcome is for Assad to kill as many sunni jihadis as possible and then be a thorn in the side of the Saudi world. This then splits the islamic world into the Sunnis versus non-Sunnis.

Syria ran Lebanon at that time, and the Hizzies were given the assignment. ALL Moslems attack us, and everyone else (including each other and members of their own families) all the time. Assad’s Russia’s ally, and it’s obvious that’s the reason you support him.
