Love the black and white logic though: "rebels bad, so Assad must be good!"
yes, of course it's all so simple.

Enlighten us.
The ignorance is astounding!
The people did do something about Assad. They protested. Assad then killed them.
"he isn't a saint".... I despair.

Yes, it's what all governments should do. In fact, the next time anyone stages a protest outside the houses of Parliament, let's round them up and shoot them. That's a much better way to govern. After all, descent should be quickly and brutally crushed.
Of course, you're right. But where was the major armed group initially during the 'Arab spring'. ??
Again, people making up their own version of history.
("you make a completely valid point that I will choose to ignore because I have nothing constructive to say")
Wrong. Humane values and morals are the same regardless of the country. They don't just simply dissolve because you're in a different one, to say otherwise is what is obtuse. You can't have it both ways... Syria, hailed as an advanced, cosmopolitan, utopian place in this thread. Yet can't allow peaceful protest and must massacre those who oppose the actions and views of their government... That is a retarded perspective.
Pathetic.
The UK once had continued civil unrest, infighting, revolt, it progressed. It's nothing to do with the cultures, we're just at different times in development of our countries.
I'm amazed how pro-dictatorship some of our posters are. Pretty sad really.

I guess it's easy to be an argumentative armchair expert when you're sitting pretty and not living in fear under an oppressive regime.
Pro suppression one thread, anti suppression the other. You're simply argumentative, boring really.
Im afraid it's you who is blind.
We've had this over many times in this thread (and other threads). Some people are for dictators, to rule "the barbarians" with an iron fist and stamp out anyone with other views. Personally I think that's it's disgusting to view people so lowly and it is short sighted not to promote progression in these states. So what if there is infighting and violence to get there? The modern civilised world went through it all to get there. The views held by some people on this forum are simply because they're sat in their cushy little homes without any real comprehension of the world beyond.
Citation needed.
Absolutely, (which on another note is why I Cringe when the ocuk resident shills harp on about the west creating isil. No, we simply triggered another phase of the historic Sunni vs Shia war). So let's consider what might overcome this silly religious based war? I mean, looking at the developed world it could actually be progress, secularism, education and certainly not dictators...
And yet you're still pro Assad, who does just as worse, but is the leader of the nation. Wow!
Wrong. The US are pulling the strings as the Saudi power house is funded by the dollar backed oil industry,that's pretty simple to understand come on. Persia are peeved about that, as a Shia entity, they were once the super power in the region.
Go study some history, stop bleating soundbites and referring to the actions of a few heinous people and their actions to back your unfounded support for a dictator who executes his own for simply having another view. This is the reason it looks silly when you try and take the moral high ground on matters.
English is your first language right?
I'd be interested to read that when finished if possible!
