No one likes Assad. His father killed many in Hama. But the groups fighting in Syria now are dangerous Jihadists. The thousands of videos they post online of their crimes, maiming and torture (mostly with knives) are an eye opener. For example, read about al-Maari statue. Google: "Jihadists behead statue of Syrian poet Abul Ala al-Maari". FYI he was a 10th century secular poet who criticized Islam in his poems. One can clearly see that he is much more advanced than these so called rebels.

We love our president Bashar al Asaad <3

All people should thank him because he protects the world from the Qaeda terrorists.

If you want to know the truth just go to Syria or see on Google his millions of supporters.

Bashar al Asaad is the leader of the world.

Assad doesn't give a fuck. 

[Matthew DiIulio]

If Assad really wants to change things and give more freedom it would've happened by now.

if you really think its about USA in the sense of the government then your not understanding. Its about protecting the interests of the corporations. That's where oil comes into play and as far as Libya it was about the gold dinar, that would have been an economic rapture for us

[1mkgairbrush]

I don't agree sir, the way things are progressing with Israel and us defending them and using Iran AGAIN as the reason behind the illegal airstrikes has opened up a can of shit stew. But I do stand strong by my nation regardless of how wrong our government is, I will gladly re enlist if the conflict arises

If we wanted to invade, we would have done it already. It is strongly suspected that the syrian government used chemical weapons in the civil war. and the us threatened military action if the syrian government did use them, but the us did nothing. There is also a difference between killing people on purpose and by accident, a war against insurgents is VERY messy. But I do agree, we spend WAY to much on our military.

You are clueless. The USA doesn't buy any oil from libya and Iraq. Another 8th grader who thinks he has it all figured out but really knows nothing

[1mkgairbrush]

The illuminati has nothing to do with it. Our country is trying to protect its interests. (im not in support of this criminal act) We cause these "revolutions" not from the white house, they are started from monopolized corporations who fund these "revolutions" at the end of the day its all about money. do not forget that war is an industry that brings in unimaginable amounts of money
