It's complicated: Syria

just another perspective on the "war"...........

Why many American Arabs support Assad and Syria

QuoteQuote:
The many non-Arab Christians in Detroit, for example, are partnered with the large Shiite population in Detroit and together they openly support Assad. They’re tolerated, of course, by the American government in part because the American government has also had a strange relationship with Syria. Although George W. Bush once described Syria as being a part of the “Axis of Evil”, when he was seeking to fabricate evidence of Al-Qaeda ties to Saddam Hussein in Iraq, he turned to Syria.

Dozens of Arabs were arrested in the US and in Canada after Sept. 11, 2001 and were sent to Syria by the US where they were tortured into making false confessions. Bush then used those forced confessions to justify his real mission, which was to avenge his father’s disgraced honor, grab oil and take down one of Israel’s greatest enemies, Iraq.

When you put all of these facts together, you find a coalition of American Arab groups that share one common goal of protecting Assad and the Syrian dictatorship. Many American Arabs can close their eyes to Assad’s brutality because they have learned it suits their selfish interests.
