Support the people. They have no guilt on them for the relationships of past history that they have been paying the price for. While I'll agree Assad has a fault from playing the game with the devils of the westernized world, he doesn't deserve the illegal atrocities being committed on him and his people that are being waged on them. When their only fault is that as Iraq and Iran, being placed over large reserves of oil. This game has been played over the course of decades by outside interference in which each of these countries have been befriended, used, abused, then befriended again, leading to demonized as an end game. What makes Saudi Arabia so special? Another country of that region in this very game. When there is considerable evidence they financially supported the 9/11 attacks, are well known to be one of the most horrific human rights abusers, that we would and do crucify other countries on, often on a false narrative we make up, yet as with those countries we once worked with when it was in our interest, Saudi Arabia is getting a pass. As in Trump's own admittance just the other day, we should give them a pass for supporting the murder of nearly 3000 people in our country because they spend a few hundred billion buying our weapons. You now have a price on what your life is worth. You've just became a measure of worth to the westernized global agenda, and can be sacrificed at anytime for it with no fault to anyone for allowing this relationship to continue. For what Assad is worth, we should be thanking him for playing a part in showing the world what our westernized governments and the main stream media are, then handle the past history accordingly where necessary. But we can't get to that point when we are being managed to think a world leader somewhere is something they managed to make us think he or she is. We have a much larger problem to solve first to get there.
