Subject: Why is Bashar Assad so bad?

Rebels don't like the government and they are attacking it. All he is doing is protecting his government. Its kinda like how Lincoln fought the Confederates to save the Union. Plenty of leaders in history kill their own people for control. Why is he considered so bad?

Yup.

Nothing against the man. Assad = stability, in a region lacking stability.

Many of the fighters are foreigners who wish to impose sharia or who knows what on Syrians. What do you think will happen to the Christians when Assad falls?

I don't know. Maybe the covert assassinations and torturing of his own people has something to do with it?

It was stable before people started demanding he leave just because other countries nearby are ousting their leaders.

No it wasn't. He was executing people for personal reasons and hemorrhaging money from the entire country, sending the majority of the populace into poverty.

His post is fine. Lincoln is just as "bad" as Assad. And you shouldn't report people becuase their views differ from you, wait a second...your actions sound very similar to a certain leader in Syria.....

Yeah, I don't think Lincoln had terror squads picking up Democrats in the middle of the night to be taken off to torture chambers.

Are you defending him AND talking out of turn? Jail for 90 years and forced to drink a gallon of milk everyday for the next 90 years. That'll teach you to voice YOUR opinion.

Well, there are all of the human rights violations, and the fact that he holds dictatorial control of the country. I don't know about you, but I generally think those are bad things.

Assad is regarded badly because of his regime's horrible record of human rights. For the past 50 years, Syria has been dominated by the Ba'ath Party and they have remained stable because they've enforced an iron fist on all dissension. For that reason, he's a bad ruler because he uses force against his own people.

And before anyone mentions it, yes, Western rulers are also bad if they use force against their own people when they just request more rights.

Gamers don't die, they just go offline.

"...and the fanboys will unite to slay the Call of Duty threat for the greater good of gaming."

Yeah Lincoln didn't order killings of Confederate civilians. Also, Lincoln didn't commit humans rights violations like Assad. If you ask me, the rebels are a lesser evil than Assad and the only reason people want Assad to stay in power is because they get their Syria-related news from Russia Today.

You can search on Youtube too if you'd like, regardless of Assad's actions, many of the rebels in Syria are foreigners, not all, but many who want to use this for their own purposes.

This isn't a case of Assad vs Syrians, it's a case of some Syrians+Assad vs some Syrians+foreign rebels
