All I ask is that people keep certain facts in mind.
Ba’athism is a collusion of Muslims and fall-away Christians for an Arab (anti-Jew) cause, and it’s based on Arab-centric national socialism and pan-Arabism over the entire Levant. Like any form of socialism, it is an imperialistic war plan.
I won’t deny that Assad is an animal - I’m just noting that about the only place to live anywhere close to normal in Syria right now is in areas he controls. Maybe Kurdish areas too, but I haven’t seen anything from inside there.
