Assad, like Qaddafi, Mubarak, and Hussein before that, were all good guys.
Now they are all bad guys. Didn't we do well in picking good guys?
Why is the most powerful nation on earth supporting the rebels? Why is the second most powerful supporting the lawful Government?
Just because two-thirds of the population is of the other religion from the secular State, why did they feel the need to rise up against Assad?
In all the current brouhaha I don't recall any media explaining why the rebels are good and the Government are bad.
Should the US etc really be supporting people who want to overthrow their Government just because the US no longer like them?
