I have been from the start against him and still am. And I didn't believe in the false dichotomy that either 1. ISIS rules 2. Asad stays.
There is alternatives way of going about this. But both the west and Iran way of dealing with it was not the way. Supporting militants that were chained to Al-Qaeda who was chained to ISIS was not the way. Supplying weapons that you know will eventually get into the hands of ISIS was not right either.
Assad doesn't justify doing such things and neither does the presences of such militants justify the stance Iran took.
I am without a community that I see officially, my anti-taqleed stance (not to blindly follow scholars) has left me without a community to be part of.
The fact the end has been bad and the solution people sought has not worked, is telling of our state.
We are hard headed and not willing to compromise, while we have an example of Imam Hassan who gave up power though those given power by that treaty, continued to oppress his followers, the damage would be no way as close as if he continued to fight.
Israel was an and is an oppressive stated founded on oppression. But we got to give it up, Palestinian won't get it back, at least not by our hands through confortation. Really. It's not worth the whole world being turned to flames. The only way it will happen is there is a healing process by which they are integrated back to their homeland and the apartheid state ends to be what it is, but comprehensive of embracing Palestinians. I don't know if this will happen or won't but it's time to heal and move on.
Compromise doesn't mean you are saying you are wrong. It's to move on. This is not the first time land was conquered wrongly and probably won't be the last time.
The fact is West wants to stop Hezbollah, because it's last stance resistance that keeps their agenda from taking place. This whole conflict in Syria they tried to hijack it by supporting groups that would be against Hezbollah, but that has backfired to everyone.
Dangerous game they played and they pigeoned hole Iran and Hezbollah to either watch as their link get's severed or play a dangerous game themselves and support Asaad.
All played the cards wrong, and the outcome is a loss for everyone. A beautiful country destroyed and no good outcome in the long road.
What could have been done differently? The west should of kept their noses out and not try to hijack and support the wrong groups like they always do. The groups that are hostile to Shiites. And Iran should of just pushed Asad to have elections and step down despite the chaos. They could of had limited elections, true, but it would be better.
If Syrian people would have chosen to be hostile towards Hezbollah and Iran, that's a sacrifice we have to make. The reason being is that this is what the west does, they support every dictator that supports their interest?
We here should have made the sacrifice...and even if it would be very difficult to strengthen hezbollah without Syria as an ally, it can still be done though yes, it would detriment the flow big time.
And it would be easier to have tried to negotiate with even Al-Nusra in government, than to endlessly fight..... And perhaps another revolution after giving power to Al-Nusra could of have been pushed, that would be non-violent.
The point is, there were many more options.
Both played their hands wrong.... but I hope if anything, a lesson will be learned.
