I gather you are saying that the rebels are the bad guys? Assad regime is definitely not the good guys.[/QUOTE]
assad is the only one right now who is able to keep law and order and prevent the same religious violence seen in the lebanese civil war
If by "law and order" and "prevent religious violence" you mean "brutal oppression" and "artillery barrage", then yes. Yes he does.assad is the only one right now who is able to keep law and order and prevent the same religious violence seen in the lebanese civil war
Now that one is really ironic given that Assad himself contributed alot to the civil war in Lebanon.
You Assad fan boys seem to forget anyway that this guy is not only responsible for crimes in his country, but also in other countries. You are so worried that someone might interfere with Syrias souvereignity while these guys are constantly doing the same on a much worse level for decades now in Lebanon.
Seriously, I can understand if someone is anti-intervention. But pro Assad? What? This just shows how much some people lose their common sense because they try to be anti-West or whatever.
What does that even mean?
Just watch the end of this. Does that not look like brutal oppression to you? Do you honestly believe that all that building damage was caused by "terrorists"? Surely as a Russian you can understand the dynamics of basement to basement, room to room fighting in urban areas. All that destruction is simply the result of shelling caused by the Syrian Army meant to break the will of the cities inhabitants who are just trying to defend what's rightfully theirs. Just yesterday I was watching a video of the people of Homs casting a mock-ballet with pieces of artillery shells, rockets and mortars in protest of the sham election done in Damascus.
Syria belongs to the Syrian's, not Bashar al-Assad. Don't forget that.
One of the most important rights and privileges of the state as an institution - it is the right of the legitimate violence against its own citizens as well as against external enemies. The right is regularly used by everyone, including the United States (for ex. the Wacko siege with tanks,aircrafts and heavy weapons).
Horsesh!t. Trying to compare this with the United States and the Wacko, Texas is absolutely ridiculous. Syria has no right to slaughter it's own people, nor does any government. Get your head out of your @ss.
Is shelling peoples homes and sniping children and their mother's a privilege of every government? Really?!
pro-Assad.
After Iraq unambiguous that a bloody dictator is better, than anything after the regime.
So you think that Wacko siege was a slaugter? USA government had no right to impose legal violence against agressive religious minorities?
Emo screams. The fact is - "peacefull protestors" could hold city quarters against regular army with armor, aviation and artillery for several months. Basra during 2003 invasion of Iraq holded less...
I don't think Wacko was a government-sponsored slaughter of civilian's like in Syria, no. What happened in Wacko was mostly the Branch Dividian's own damn fault, party the gov's fault. What could our government do? They didn't want to come out, they wanted to go out in a blaze of glory and they held children hostage with them just like Beslan Massacre. Only this time it was their own families holding them against their will, and the children probably had no idea. The ATF attempted to gas them out, and the idiots lit a fire somehow and blew themselves up. Again, the US government doesn't have the right (and has no desire) to impose legal violence against religious groups.
I really don't see what the hell any of that has to do with Syria, but okay.
Emo screams? What are you trying to say? The population of Homs is "emo" for protesting against a government that is brutalizing the population? Peaceful protesters simply can't hold a city against a seige..what the hell are you talking about? That is the whole reason why the FSA was created and these groups are armed in the first place.Emo screams. The fact is - "peacefull protestors" could hold city quarters against regular army with armor, aviation and artillery for several months. Basra during 2003 invasion of Iraq holded less..
And FSA with aviation and artillery? Whaat?
