re: #428 engineer cat

isn’t assad a dictator in much the same way as saddam was? what’s the difference?

You don’t see the difference between a sectarian group ruling over other groups and a dictator with a gang of loyalists ruling over what would otherwise be a fairly homogeneous people?

The former applied to Iraq as well as Syria, and for that matter most countries in the middle east.

North Korea would be an example of the second type, and zero chance of a revolution.
