Let's make fun of Trump, bash him, etc. while we can!
(12-07-2018, 10:37 AM)Cynic Hero Wrote: Come on Eric, Assad especially is a good person, he is really the rock keeping Syria from going under. Erdogan, the Saudi Prince, Putin and Xi Jinping and even maduro are good people. They are making hard choices that have to be made whereas over here, because of globalist bankster control; western governments have been prevented from making those necessary decisions.

There is a difference between the autocratic Agricultural Age pattern and the democratic Industrial Age pattern.  Not all parts of the world switched over.  The objective of the colonial powers in the 20th Century was cheap oil, not to do well by the locals.  Both the democracies and communists set really bad examples of how to do it, so those who are looking to reform are looking to the Agricultural Age Muslim pattern rather than the West for an example to follow, most of them.  

This will get them precisely nowhere.

But I would not label Assad as someone looking to reform.  He cares about power for himself and his cronies more.  As such he is not much better or worse than other autocrats, but he does not care in the least for the people he 'rules'.

Alas he and Putin (who is of similar mind) hold enough cards to block movement in any direction, though many want to rejoin the regional powers that held sway before the colonial powers seized control.  Syria is a mess.  But, every region has to endure a century or two of chaos.  Some never learn.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
