Can anyone explain to me how Syria being ruled by a tyrannical and selfish minority of around 15% is supposed to be somehow "democratic" and a "beneficial" thing?
How many western leaders could be described as not tyrannical?
How many unnecessary wars did western leaders in Europe alone drag their countries in that had nothing to do with them and only did so on the say of Washington or London or Brussels and against the interests and wishes of their own populations.
Assad might be a dick, but he was the legitimately elected leader of Syria... if the Syrian people want to remove him there is something called elections which is a mechanism to change leadership. Having a thousand different groups of head choppers and murderers shoot people and try to remove him by force is actually the opposite of democratic.. and the selfish minority rule most countries... they get called all sorts of things like globalists, the one percent... the rich and powerful, the oligarchs... they are the same people every time and always command more power within a country than anyone using a vote.
The alternative to Assad is a thousand little mobs with no experience in running a country... the alternatives were Assad or a Libya/Afghanistan type situation of anarchy and chaos where life is cheap and short and bullys and psychos rule... Syria has had ISIS rule for a while and is rejecting it as shown by the rate at which the Government forces and progressing forward and the head choppers and the US who supports those terrorists are squealling like pigs.
The amusing thing is that you can take your statement above and replace Syria with most countries in central and south america and it still works because most of those countries are run by rich whiter people than the damn natives who are oppressed and enslaved in their own countries but the US supports those governments because they know who to suck up to and when.
Assads crime is not sucking up to the right people in the west... he was actually turning west when they turned on him and Gaddafi and Saddam...
