Do you think someone pointing out how bad the uprising in Libya turned out is in "a cheering section" for Gaddafi?

You do not have to love or even like Assad's regime to be concerned about an organization with past ties to Al-Qaeda and ISIS taking the reins. Some people in here have a lot of faith in their newly claimed moderate stance. I do not think that a group like that changes its colors over night, but we shall see.

No. Assad has a cheering section. I'd like to hear its pitch. If you're just uneasy about what's happening, I'm not asking anything of you. That just makes sense. Boring! I want to hear from the people who think the Ba'athists were a good thing. That's interesting.
