“There was a drought and the hunger protests started. “
They were hungry and a revolt just “happened”. LOL Wikileaks explained how it was a USAID/CIA project to destabilize Syria. Part of the Arab spring designed to carry out the Saudi plans for the region. You whine about Alawite control but forget something. Sunni countries like the Saudis and the emirates, are brutally repressive. There is NO vote. Women are property. Judiasm and Christianity cannot be practiced openly.
Assad’s Syria let women wear what they wanted, drive, work where they wanted, divorce, and even sip wine in a bikini on Latakia beach. You could have a Christian church, and there was even a synagogue for a small Jewish population in Damascus.
Removing Assad is our war aim, not defeating ISIS. ISIS was our tool until it got out of hand. That is why we are not very aggressive with them still, while bombing Syrian forces every chance we get.
Removing Assad merely ensures a new Sunni theocracy will emerge.
It’s unAmerican to protect Al Qeida/FSA/or ISIS.
1) Wikileaks is a bunch of lying faggots. Assange, Bradley/Chelsea Manning, and Snowden are all traitors. Only reason to read wikileaks is to study enemy propaganda.
2) You listed FSA among the terrorists. FSA is not the terrorists. It is an army where 95% of the grunts are not Alawites and 80% of the officers are splitting.
3) Kurds are about the best people in this area and American allies.
