** 18-Mar-2021 World View: Bashar al-Assad
In the past ten years, I've written literally thousands of articles on
Syria and al-Assad, and those articles have referenced tens of
thousands of sources from many countries. So I'm quite certain that I
have my facts right.
Bashar al-Assad is a sociopathic monster and war criminal who wants to
complete the work begun by his father, Hafez al-Assad, in
exterminating the Sunni Arabs in Syria and replacing as many of them
as possible with Alawites and Shia Muslims.
Al-Assad's horrors have been well documented. In 2014, an al-Assad
defector supplied 55,000 photos of about 11,000 men whom al-Assad had
tortured using electrocution, eye-gouging, strangulation, starvation,
and beating on prisoners on a massive "industrial strength" scale.
Al-Assad was so pleased and proud of this torture that he made sure
each act was photographed.
Al-Assad gets obvious pleasure from sending missiles into school
dormitories to kill children, or dropping barrel bombs laden with
metal, chlorine, ammonia, phosphorous and chemical weapons on civilian
neighborhoods, or using Sarin gas to kill large groups of people. He
considers all Arab Sunni Muslims to be cockroaches to be exterminated.
Bashar al-Assad is the greatest genocidal monster in the 21st century
so far, comparable to Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong and Stalin from the
last century. There is no mass weapon of destruction, nor any
gruesome form of torture, that he won't use to satisfy his
psychopathy. (I may have to revise this opinion to put Xi Jinping in
first place.)
All of this is very well-documented, and when I was cross-posting on
Breitbart, I would constantly be attacked by Russian and Syrian
trolls, telling me what a great guy al-Assad was, and how he was a
great opthamologist who just wanted best for his people.
So now I'm seeing the same kind of idiocy in this forum.
One person, thomasglee, wrote that al-Assad can't be bad because
career politicians don't like him, and use him as an excuse for
military action. So that idiot must like Hitler, who was also
disliked by career politicians.
Another idiocy, from Cool Breeze, is that al-Assad is really a nice
guy because he gets along with Christians, as if that makes it
perfectly ok to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing of Arab Sunnis.
Hitler and the Nazis were Christians, so I suppose you think that
makes it perfectly ok to commit the Jewish Holocaust.
The next one will be that al-Assad is a beloved leader who was
popularly elected. Hitler was also a beloved leader who was popularly
elected. A war criminal has to be popular in order to commit genocide
and ethnic cleansing. Hitler was very popular, and he won elections.
Mao Zedong was very popular. All of these genocidal monsters were
extremely popular, since they couldn't get away with genocide
otherwise.
The worst people in the world are the leaders that order their armies
to commit genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, atrocities, and
crimes against humanity -- people like Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol
Pot, Robert Mugabe, Josef Stalin, Xi Jinping, and Bashar al-Assad.
These people were very popular, and won elections, just like al-Assad.
They had to be popular in order to get away with their horrific
crimes.
Right behind them, the second-worst people, are you people, the people
who are supporting the war criminals -- the excusers, the deniers, the
collaborators, the acolytes and the trolls -- the people who defend
the war criminals and make the actions of Hitler, Mao, Stalin and
al-Assad possible. These are the people that make genocide and war
crimes possible, and they are as much to blame as the war criminals
themselves.

This is anti-Semitic garbage, blaming Jews for al-Assad's atrocities
and genocide and ethnic cleansing of Sunni Arabs. Hitler blamed the
Jews too. You must really love Hitler.
