re: #78 Nevergiveup

You just had to go and mention Hama… which Assad will conveniently explain away by saying he was dealing with a bunch of murderous bastards who challenged his father’s regime and had to be put down. He’d claim that they were just as much a threat to him as al Qaeda is to us. He’d say he did the world a favor.

Never mind that he killed 25-35,000 people, and razed the entire city - in ways more tangible and violent than anything even conceived by the Palestinians at Jenin or Gaza.

The Syrians would rationalize it all away because the Brotherhood just wasn’t the kind of terrorist scum Assad’s thugs were looking to work with. He wanted ones answerable to him… and he’s apparently found it in the form of Hamas and Hizbullah, via Iran.
