WOW somebody on here actually said that Assad is a democratically elected president an not a dictator

That made my day, while he is the President of Syria he was not elected. The Assad family has been ruling Syria for decades the first was Hafez Assad, Bashar's father, who ruled for over 3 decades. Hafez was responsible for bringing Syria into a more modern society, but just like his son's he didnt put up w/ any type of uprisings. In February 1982 after a unit of the SAA (SyrianArabArmy) was ambushed my Muslim brotherhood guerrilla's in the city of Hama which lead to an uprising in Hama. Hafez sent his younger brother Rifaat who was a commander of the special forces to take the rebels out. To make a long story short it became known as the Hama Massacre, Hama was shelled an hit from the air for weeks an rolled on w/ armor. Rifaat believed rebels were hiding in tunnels so he had them flooded w/ diesel fuel an set on fire w/ tanks waiting outside the entrances to kill who ever tried to escape (nice family eh?). It's believed all the rebels were killed an then the local population suffered the worse the death's range from 10,000-30,000, mostly in the form of executions combined from the extensive shelling an airstrikes etc. You can see the similarities between the Hama Massacre an the current war. So the Assad's have a history of violence towards their ppl. Basher Al-Assad became the president after his dad died in 2000, it would of been his older brother Bassel but he died in a car crash. Now the guy to really fear is Maher al-Assad, Bashar's younger brother he command's special forces who some call the "ghosts", his guys are responsible for massacres of innocent protesters beginning, a sniper who defected said Maher gave them orders to aim for the head or hurt of unarmed protesters an to keep killing until there were no more protests. Maher is also believed to control the Shabiha's which mean's ghost's, a mix of special forces, mercenaries, an local thugs who wear civilian clothes an were used to attack an kill protesters. They're suppose to be responsible for the Houla massacre, an the Al-Qubair massacre both took place between May an June 2012, Houla was two villages where mostly women an children were shot an knifed, an Al-Qubair was a farming settlement where women an children were stabbed an shot. So let it be clear the Assad's have always been dictators, an are not simply fighting terrorists as somebody posted earlier.
