The roots of this mess are political: France wanted Assad ousted at every cost, a policy that suited the US too since Assad was in business with Russia. That's why the ISIS was allowed to grow and receive funding. I know shocking isn't it?
Now that France knows that the ISIS, retards as they are, are not easy to control. France will have to decide: Either you leave Syria to the Russians or you leave the ISIS be and hope your intelligence will be able to prevent terrorists. It's crystal clear that the population there wants and supports Assad.
Obama's on the G20 made clear that the US are not going to change policy on the ISIS, which basically means that they will keep them restrained on one side, but continue to support them indirectly on the other. Putin of course offered his support in destroying ISIS, he for sure wants ISIS out of the picture, dead and buried. Turkey is playing a double-game, supporting the ISIS indirectly while condemning it's activities. It's a mess, but it's our mess.
Someone should ask Hollande: "What is the reason the French military was there in the first place?" and the answer will be to enforce Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Some people really believe that.
Truth is we should be apologizing to this old fella from Syria (the OP) because he is a victim of Western imperialism as much as we (Europeans) are.
The long sought pipe dream: socialdemocracy in the middle east. This time in the form of the so-called "Arab spring", a fiasco all EU and US liberals hailed as the panacea for the middle east and which has only caused untold suffering and destruction. Libya is in disarray, Egypt saved by the bell, and so on.
Apparently we're too dumb to realize that the best these countries and their culture can do are kinda-socialist pretenders like Saddam and Assad who rule with an iron fist. Trying to create western democracies in that environment is simply insane.
What about Tunisia? It looks like a success story to me. Please don't comment on Egyptian affairs if you are not well versed. Egypt wasn't in any trouble to be saved by a military coup in the first place. Actually, we're in deeper problems on many fronts whether in the economy, politics or security.
PS: Your supremacist view of our culture & political system is not to dignified with any comment
Lions of Rojava / YPJ / YPG / PKK are anti Assad and anti daish and are fighting in north of Syria. They have some support, if only because they include women in the fighting forces.
