Shocker! Syria Now Becoming Genocidal Hellhole

Syria

Remember way back when all the "right" people were insisting that Syria's al Qaeda terrorist "president," who displaced Bashar al-Assad, had reformed from his al Qaeda ways and was going to lead his newly liberated country into an era of multicultural peace, love and understanding?

Yeah, you remember last week as well as I do. 

Ah, the halcyon days when the good people who find Israel icky could look to a new hero and hope for a brighter future! Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa was the new sheriff in town, and Syria would now be a safe and prosperous country run by a man the transnational elite was happy to take selfies with again. 

Western leaders and intellectuals flocked to praise al-Sharaa and embrace him as the future of the Middle East or some similar nonsense. He was a REFORMED al Qaeda/ISIS/Nihilist and now wears a SUIT! The hosts of Britain's most popular political podcast--former Tory MP Rory Stewart and his sidekick Alastair Campbell made a pilgrimage to be seen with him. 

Dreamy. 

Only the dream has predictably turned into a nightmare, as any sane person could have predicted. Syria is devolving into genocidal violence.

As I feared, this was the Libya trajectory. The West identifies a truly awful dictator and targets him for elimination. He is allied with the wrong people and is a violent authoritarian. Objectively speaking, the world would be a better place if he were gone. 

Except...his replacements are much, much worse. Libya--Hillary Clinton's playground of death--went from being ruled by a dictator to becoming a failed state with slave markets and vastly worse poverty and terror than under Qaddafi. Hillary Clinton created a slave market in North Africa, and is proud of the achievement. 

Want to see what is happening in Syria? Let me warn you, the images are beyond disturbing. If you don't have the stomach for it please, please do not click the videos. If you don't need to see the proof with your own eyes, the summary is this: genocidal violence.

And don't buy the line some of the media are selling: this is not Assad regime fighters holding out or striking back. These are the Syrian rebels executing people for their religious differences. Christians are being massacred. Muslims from different sects. There is casual torture, rape, ritual humiliation. 

It is an orgy of violence. Bodies are everywhere, and the terrorists are having a really great time of it. How nice.

There are hundreds more I can't share because they are too horrific. 

Worst of all, it was our tax dollars that made it all possible. We were so determined to get rid of the truly awful guy--Assad--that we backed the even worse guys who are creating a hellhole that will leave the region even less secure than it has been. 

For all his flaws--his evil--Assad was a secular leader who protected (for the most part) ethnic and religious minorities. He was evil, and awful to the enemies of his regime, but he was not genocidal in the way that al Qaeda/ISIS terrorists are.

USAID dollars went into supporting the terrorists who are committing these massacres. There are emails going back to the Obama administration where Tony Blinken is bragging to Hillary Clinton that "al Qaeda is on our side" in Syria. 

This was planned and executed by arrogant people who play at being foreign policy experts. 

Do I wish Syria were run by neither a sociopathic dentist ophthamologist who murders all his opponents OR an al Qaeda/ISIS terrorist with a penchant for mass murder of people? Yes, yes I do. 

But that was never a choice. The Obama administration started this vicious civil war that has destabilized the Middle East, caused a refugee crisis that has destabilized Europe, and has now created yet ANOTHER Middle Eastern failed state that will remain a hellhole for generations and export violence around the world for decades.
