Assad is guilty of all the things Saddam Hussein was guilty of in regards to his own people, using chemical weapons against his own population, torture etc.
I don't doubt it. But I believe we never should have been in Iraq either. We have seen time and time again what happens when a secular dictator is removed from power in the Middle East. More often than not, as in Libya, Iraq, and the attempts in Syria, Islamic zealots rise to fill the void, and they are far more brutal and more of a threat to our citizenry and our interests. The point is this, the secular Damascus government is far preferable to the various Islamic rebel groups vying for power in Syria. You don't think ISIS would have used chemical weapons and worse if they had them?
Yep, that is why Putin is helping him, on this part, I agree...should have left Sadam in power too. DD
I had to come back to this because it's so ****ing stupid. We're now in an era where dopey wingnuts like you can't even acknowledge that the Syrian regime is a brutal, murderous, state sponsor of terrorism. You actually underline secular dictatorship as if secular makes it any less a dictatorship. You know Mao was a secularist so was Stalin and so was Saddam. Real nice group of secularists there. You use your favorite terms like "so-called", "establishment", and other stupid meaningless buzzwords to build your case. We see them frequently on this board these days. Then you actually have the audacity to claim you could say the US, thanks to Obama (thanks Obama), is a state sponsor of terrorism because they support rebels that want freedom from this brutal, murderous, terrorist in Syria. What the hell? That would pretty much make every US President, well, ever, including Reagan a terrorist. Do you even know what the hell you're talking about before you say it because it sure seems like Obama has made you lose your damn mind. It's like you're not even an American. You're like post-American. Just spewing a bunch of Breitbart gibberish thinking you live in a different country. You want to dissect what parts of America support your looney vision and then just separate from the actual history of our country. You can basically go to hell with that nonsense. Then, because you're an arrogant schmuck, you decry the millions of actual Americans (America first and all) who didn't have health insurance before Obama. People who couldn't get coverage for themselves or their children due to pre-existing conditions, people who weren't offered coverage in their jobs, people who were offered crap coverage in their jobs, people who lost their jobs because of scumbag Wall Street bankers tanking the economy in an attempt to scam people, etc. Why should you give a **** about THOSE millions of Americans but you give a **** about a bunch of Syrians who won't fight for their own damn country? America first, unless you need help finding a job or getting health care or if you're in the military and need food stamps to feed your family then Aceshigh7 can tell you to go f yourself. This is the joke of America frankly. Wingnuts like you don't think you live in a society. All you think about is yourself. You don't have a clue nor do you give a damn how government policy affects the society around you. All you give a damn about is your tax rate. Clueless.
