Unfortunately it has taken to long and every hard line Islamic paramilitary group seems to have joined the fight, leaving Saudi-Arabia to cheque the bills (and ultimately decide the outcome of any elections to come out of a take-over).

this means that you have the choice of:

Assad: maniac dictator, under his control country would slowly return to it’s previous peace-time fascist state. (with all of the torture/execution/persecution that goes on after a revolution).

takeover: hard-line Sunni regime (unless there is some kind of miracle), turns into Islamic state with sharia law etc (with all of the torture/execution/persecution that goes on after a revolution).

so yeah not an easy choice.

remember, there is a big difference between people saying ‘heil hitler’ and ‘for stalin’;
Stalin may have killed millions of people but ultimately communism (heck, even stalinism) isn’t about killing millions of people, that’s just Stalin.
On the other hand Nazism’s core concept is to kill millions (if not billions) of people, and since everyone and their mother knows this (often not the case with Stalin), it carries allot more weight to imply that you support Nazism, than to have ‘for Stalin’ inscribed on the side of your tank.
