Sounds like Russia doesn't want any competition as one of the worlds largest arms suppliers.
Rebels roll over play dead so Russia can make billions from Assad!

Or keep taking money and arms from the west and other arab states to keep performing terrorist activities on a legitimate government that the people want..
or could it be that the west wants another war to make more money...?edit on 103030p://6America/ChicagoWed, 06 Jun 2012 22:43:57 -0500 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

Why should he leave his country? Just because the west does not like him?

All I'm asking for is even biased reports, visual evidence of Assad's innocence from russian, iranian media and I'm ignored.
We've seen rebel footage of slaughter to women and children.
Why isn't Assad using the media?

Youve seen rebel footage of slaughter because they did the killings themselves.

90% voted in favor of him. It is their country and he is their leader. We cannot go around removing leaders we do not agree with using the old WMDS, women and children bit.
Look at where that got us in Iraq, and Libya. They used the same techniques.

I saw the rebel footage. Psychopaths often perform killings and blame others for it.

Why don't you provide visual evidence that you are not a murder.
The burden of proof is always on the accuser.
You are accusing assad, you must provide the proof.
You cannot presume guilt and ask for evidence of innocence.
It is innocent until proven guilty.
GWB?

I have not been accused of slaughter.
You defend someone who won't even defend himself.
The burden is on the accuser?
Then I submit the only visual evidence provided.
To add, innocent until proven guilty is a western concept, not dne in the middle east. There, the burden of proof in on the accused.

The armed rebels are the ones who started this situation and any killing was subsequential.
If you took up arms against the US government I would expect you to be squashed too
2011 March - Protests in Damascus and the southern city of Deraa demand the release of political prisoners. Security forces shoot a number of people dead in Deraa, triggering days of violent unrest that steadily spread nationwide over the following months.
The government announces some conciliatory measures in an attempt to damp down unrest. . President Assad releases dozens of political prisoners and dismisses the government, and in April lifts the 48-year-old state of emergency. However, he accuses protesters of being Israeli agents.
2011 May - Army tanks enter Deraa, Banyas, Homs and suburbs of Damascus in an effort to crush anti-regime protests. US and European Union tighten sanctions. President Assad announces amnesty for political prisoners.
THE PEOPLE want change
Quite simple,really. Happens all the time,in the World.
And look............More boogiemen blamed.......

Then I accuse you of slaughter... It is a ridiculous concept of guilty until innocent..edit on 113030p://6America/ChicagoWed, 06 Jun 2012 23:00:52 -0500 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)
