Syria: The World's war

Just watching the documentary charting the war in Syria and I have to say I really don't get the West's strategy when it comes to the Middle East.

Why so keen to get rid of Assad who was educated in the west and ran Syria as a secular state? Why so fast to believe Assad was to blame for chemical attacks? Why do we believe what our government tells us about Assad using chemical weapons after their track record on wmd in Iraq?
And why do we insist on supporting religious extremists?

If it wasn't for the Russian I think the war would last a lot longer and spread to other states.

When will we stop supporting people who hate us!

How can you possibly think about the handbags in Syria after United's gutless performance tonight.

Get a grip OP and put things into perspective.

People have lost all objectivity on this issue, it’s all about my country is greater than your country so we’re the good guys.

Assad is tyrant, it’s easy to see.

It’s also easy to see that a country which lied about Iraq having WMD’s to rape and pillage it also shouldn’t be trusted.

The only thing that matters is saving the lives of the civilians on the ground and then the priority is making sure it isn’t taken over by another puppet leader.

Let’s not forget that Assad’s father was put in power with the help of the CIA and that’s why his son is in charge now.

Assad should be taken out by an Arab coalition, if only they’ed stop being PšŸ±’s

Getting rid of Assad is the worst thing we could think of doing. He is anti IS. We get rid of him and we open Syria up to becoming another lawless state, like Lybia

Getting rid of Assad is the worst solution possible!

Don’t let the western media fool you!

The Western press always refers to President Assad as a "ruthless dictator" although he's a legal and somewhat "elected" head of state (as if US elections aren't rigged) and this chemical attack was a 10-second video of kids getting their eyes washed. Are we that stupid to believe The US/UK propaganda because they don't like this guy?? If it smells like bullsh*t, it probably IS bullsh*t.

Its high time we, the people, stopped supporting or excusing all these Western military interventions carried out against ruthless dictators in the name of the people of <insertcountrynamehere>.

In doing so, all we really do is support hypocrisy on a massive scale and dance to the tune of the weapons industry.

If our governments were the slightest bit serious about democracy or worried that the world still had ruthless dictators, they'd start out by telling all the Gulf States to get their democratic sh*t together or forget about being protected by Uncle Sam.

The fact is the arguments that are routinely given for these interventions are as false as threepenny bits. We all know they are.
