In Syria hundreds of thousands have died in the civil war, you think Assad has killed that many people? Ridiculous
Of course not. I don't think I mentioned that anywhere.
I am merely saying it is never so simplistic. We are quick to point fingers at the Americans but before they got involved the Russians were already arming Assad and his fellow Alawites. Complex issues and they (west) did the right thing at that time. Tough luck how it all turned out.

Even Egyptians now admit that life was much better under Mubarak who improved their country in all facets than it is now. I can guarantee life under Gaddafi would be better now too.
These are the pains of progress. You can't put a price on freedom and democracy. This is in respect to the Egyptians, Tunisians, Libyans. Syria is a whole different ball game.
