'Syrian rebels' aim dictatorship, not democracy '

­Washington's double standard approach is evident in the Syrian crisis. It supports the armed opposition, which wants to turn the country into a dictatorship, claiming that their war against the Assad government has democracy as the goal, Aleksey Pushkov, the chair of the Russian parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, told RT.

Well who cares? If their dictatorship is capable of treating citizens well and maintaining decent-good economy and military capability then it works fine.

there isn't any freedom in Syria. If you speak against the Syrian Government, the Syrian Mukhabarat will come and catch you. Syria is a Mafia lead government.

this IS is a war of religions. Make no mistake. These muslims follow a pedophile mass murderer self- proclaimed prophet who was a narcissistic cult leader. Like Charles Manson or David Koresh. The muslims want to create their own caliphate to attack the rest of the world. Taking out dictators is a serious mistake, dictators kept the rats in line.

actually, Al Asad keeps them fucking rag head doon coons in check. If we had it your way, the monkey bar sand niggers would be looking for ways to blow up your local bus station or train rail. Saddam was good too. Dictators in the middle east keep them retarded muslim terrorists away. Removing dictators is removing the immune system for the virus to seep in.

Dont you get that? Dummy? Are you a leftist croany who thinks these camel jockeys beg for democracy? They want your head cut off.
