But I guess with you Muslim deaths don't count. Instead we should do what is best for the 10% that are not Muslim no matter how many Muslims would die.
Is Assad targeting only Muslims? For their religious views..... Charging them higher taxes..... Raping Muslim women and children to make them non Muslim?
Seems to me Assad is targeting those who are against his govenment. So basically he is just keeping the peace.
I guess you think the Muslim Brotherhood led government went well for Egypt?
Assad isn't ideal, and a Muslim led gov is not either. A govenment solely based on religious laws from the dark ages is never a good thing. You need a secular government to allow people the freedom to worship as they choose. And until they can ensure this, there is no reason to make a change.... Just for the sake of making a change.
That's just trading one tyrant for another. Unless you want non Muslims killed, raped, and exploited. If that is what you favor then yes overthrow Assad.
