Nope. Look what happened In Libya and Iraq. Yes they had dictators who were brutal. But they were secular and ruled a divided country with an iron fist. Once they were removed from power, the countries fell apart. Islamic jihadists took over and now you have sharia law and constant fighting there by terror groups. I would like to say the work is a safer place with these dictators in power, rather than having groups like ISIS and other radical groups proliferating in chaos. |

Astonishing how western propaganda paints the portrait of a “brutal regime” when the actions of our very own country make such “brutality” look like kid’s play. We’re completely brainwashed regarding our role in world history. |

| Syria even today is probably one of the more stable countries in the Middle East for lots of reasons namely Baathism-or Arab socialism. Anybody Arab will tell you Saddam and Assad were agnostic, barely religious at all, and anyone that was trying to rile the people up and divide them by religious sectarianism was largely dealt with. Saddam and Assad had lots of women and Christians working for them, something only Jihadists had issues with and despite what naive Americans think, Jihadists are not the US's enemy. They are Trump's enemy but not the deep state's enemy. The Jihadists are the deep state's tools/workers. None of these rebel groups are homegrown from Syria or based in any real sentiment besides financial chaos for hire/mercenaries. |

| Both the Jihadists and politicos are looking for the Big Bucks from defense contracts and board seats on Raytheon, Boeing, Haliburton. Liz Cheney is a prime example. It's obvious the deep state wants to go all in now while there is no real US President to check them. Obama and Trump did not give the deep state what they wanted with a regime change war in Syria. Obama learned quickly from Libya, and did not dare to repeat the same mistake. |

WAT DA FCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???? I have family members who witnessed first hand helicopters flying low over the streets of Damascus with the bodies of dissidents dangling by ropes around their necks. I don't know of ANY US President who ever did those kinds of things to his own people. Your attempt to paint the US as worse is absolutely and completely deranged and out of touch with reality. |

| Assad was a London trained opthalmologist who drank alcohol. Butter wouldnt even melt in his mouth. The way the media has painted him out to be some brutal butcher of Syria is insane. He begged investigators to come check if the chemical bombing of Syrian kids came from him or US stockpiles, and the US denied the challenge. |

If you go peruse Reddit, most Syrians would rather stick with Assad then the US backed government. We dont have a great track record for picking the best people to run things. If the bodies of dissidents are actually ISIS criminals, Assad isnt doing anything wrong or anything any other country would not do to protect their citizens during a war. Assad is facing a decade long regime change war from one powerful country and one toxic neighbor too fearful to fight Iran directly so wants Syria to be the dress rehearsal |

This isnt a rebuttal. You can't say that I am lying. |

The push for war in Syria has roots in the late 90s neocon resurgence. As early as 2003, Syria was one of the top places mentioned by the chickenhawks along with Iraq.
