      I don’t know what to tell you - people always think there must be a “good” option, and if the current one is bad then any other option must therefore be good.

      This could also be a radical regime like the Taliban that could actually be worse for most people.

        What about this: the status quo under Assad with houndred of thousands tortured and murdered is bad enough to try to change it.

          Well… Yeah. But do the rebels care about that? Or do they just feel that Asad was just torturing and murdering the wrong people? And do they feel that Assad was just not following the koran closely enough by allowing women to be educated?

          Rebellion against oppression often leads to a different type of oppression, and given the groups these rebels have been associated with in the past it’s concerning at least.
