[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Assad, "democratically elected"....  You are funny.

Not "democratically elected" in any sense of a free society choosing its leaders from among the best it has...[/quote]

Are your Syrian? Did you vote in Syria? How would you know otherwise?[/quote]

Because the vetting and nominating process specifically excluded many other popular candidates, leaving just Assad and two others who pretty much everyone acknowledges were only little known, symbolic candidates to give it a semblance of legitimacy.[/quote]

Who did you hear this from? Do you have Syrian friends? What other differing viewpoints did you consider before accepting this one as being closest to the truth? Do you trust that our MSM is impartial and unbiased?[/quote]

That hissing sound you hear is your credibility fizzling out. Assad would not have run in an election that he didn't know that he would win. The 87% of the vote he got was not quite up to Soviet standards, but demonstrates the lack of serious opposition he faced.

What credibility do I have as an anonymous writer to begin with? I just wanted to know how the conclusions were drawn. I am not on Syria's side or Russia's side. I just want us to question what we hear and read and consider that there are many sides to the story. No good guys, no bad guys. Everyone works towards an end.
