Bashar al-assad and the Syrian conflict

The glories of non-intervention are exquisitely palpable in Syria.

We now mired in sectarian bloodshed which non-interventions said would happen with US intervention.

Do your homework - intervention started the conflict.

Meticulously organised and planned, i think we can safely say mainstream media has done a predictably poor job getting us the truth.

First of all, its not as simple as some here may think...

Its not a conflict, its a genocide been committed in syria, and "some" still call it conflict or civil war. When one side is been slaughtered and wiped out from existence you call that conflict?

Thus syria is complex matter and there are many misconceptions about the war in syria.
I think its digusting in this day and age we allow such a thing to happen and blind ourselves from the truth. Its not like a day or 2 of killing, its been going on for 2 years now and EVERYDAY there are hundereds that die in a horrific way, one man was buried alive infornt of his daughter because he didnt say Bashar was god! I could go on and on about the ways they torture peole in syria but I dont see the point. You have to see it yourself.

The only difference here is that the whole world is in silence no matter what we try to tell ourselves. When such crimes happen normally countries intervene in some way or send charities, the red cross doesnt even exist in syria, there is no medical aid (national) which what happens in war zones you send charities which are allowed to enter the country under national law. However, in syria the people are left to die a painful death, young or old. Its a disaster! It just goes to show how evil and twisted some arab leaders are. They are happy as long as they stay in power, whether for 40 years or some 50 years they will do anything to stay in power.

Bashar al-assad stated earlier on when the revolution started: He is prepared to kill the 23 million people if he has to...if thats what it takes to stay in power, he shall do it"

Maybe the world's free nations have learnt a lesson or two from Iraq. Whatever the West does in the middle east, it gets blamed for what happens afterwards. Maybe they're just saying "**** it, I've had enough - let them murder each other".

I have heard this excuse far too many times its becoming cliched now!!

It sickens me!!

Did you watch the video? No one is asking for intervention no one is asking for british troops in syria....today 1300 died...kids? you okay with that and to correct you, no one is killing each other, LOL its bashar massacring children thats the problem here.

Trust me if it was 2 armies fully equipped I would not give a toss!! WHY? because they know what they are in for, they are prepared for it...you get what am saying? But murdering children thats what annoys me and if you are a human being then you should care as well...

Syria is an extremely complex matter. On one side you have a dictator doing all he can to stay in power. He is supported by many Syrian civilians and a friend of mine who came to the UK a couple of months ago is one of them. He says Assad is the good guy in this who wants to prevent his country being overtaken by sunni extremists. My friend's an orthodox Christian and thus would be against this as he doesn't want his country to become like Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand you have several rebel groups. Many have the same basic ideologies whereas some fight each other. In many cases the rebel's actions are equal to that of Assad's.
As outsiders it is easy for us to say this 'sides' better but in reality both have 'negatives' and 'positives'.
Whilst my friend is no expert on the matter he refers to it as the order vs. chaos debate. Order and security but control and a dictator under Assad or Chaos and more bloodshed but democracy if Assad is overthrown.

^This is a very simplistic view also as it ignores international issues affecting the civil war also.

It is also a very simplistic view because it assumes that democracy would follow a revolution. Democracy could never follow a revolution by Sunni militants. Democracy would be anathema. It would be yet another dictator, and the same story over again. Like in Egypt.

"**** it, I've had enough - let them murder each other".

That is a common sentiment, and an understandable one.

Today alone he killed 1300 KIDS WITH CHEMICAL WEAPONS!

Why intervene in Maila?

Simple...Syria muslims are getting killed,

Malia west for some reason gets their nose in everything, even how to empty you r bladder? They are scared they will form an "islamic state" dude what is it to you? let them...I dont hear you raging war against a country who is very catholic?

You see its not as simple as many people on TSR think, syria is complicated, lots of trash going on and lots of misconceptions so you go to search for the truth its not going to be handed to you on a plate!

People are getting massacred today, 2 years old and you are saying so what do we do?? lol if it was your friends or your child would you say the same, NO you wouldn't...I think the problem here lies in the fact that people don't care about things which dint affect them directly. Its true.


Seeing a girl get raped in front of you in town while passing by and not reporting it or telling someone? it will haunt you for the rest of your life. So seeing a crime and not doing anything about it is like you are encouraging which is exactly whats happening right now in syria if we had acted like we ought to then the 200,000 people would still be alive.

But we didnt thus we gonna pay the price, syria is not just in it you know? The whole world shall pay for their actions. Don't underestimate the scale of this catastrophic in syria.


Same excuse over and over again. first the veto then this....its all lies after lies...

Really? Assad has developed a new type of chemical agent that can discriminate by age? There does appear to have been a significant chemical attack, but you destroy your credibility when you are careless with the facts. 1300 is the highest estimate for the total casualties, including men, women, and children, and even that remains unconfirmed.
