ADVICE TO ASSAD - RETIRE TO RUSSIA

'Soon to be former' President Assad is using PR (public relations) to try to get the West to believe he is a better alternative than the rebels. It is time for the rebels to provide more witnesses to Assad's forces raping, torturing, and mass murdering.

Assad PR says that this is not the Syrian people, it is outside agitators. Believe me, if outside agitators could start a revolution, there would be revolutions everywhere. This is the same excuse the South used during the Civil Rights Era in the US. "It is outsiders, not our making Blacks sit in the back of the bus."

Assad PR is trying to convince us that he is better than Muslim extremists. There is no evidence that the rebels are Muslim extremists. Frankly, if my President was condoning mass murder of my neighbors, I would be rebelling against such a government. However, the longer the civil war lasts, the more anger the winners will have towards Assad supporters.

Assad PR is saying that the rebels will quit, they always have quit. The Syrian rebels know that, "We will hang together or we will hang separately." The Syrian rebellion is a revolution against tyranny. But it is not a rebellion against tyranny of tea taxes, it is a rebellion against a tyranny of torture, mass murder, and rape.

Al Jazeera reports that the rebels are taking more territory. An Israeli newspaper says the Russians are now in control of Assad's chemical weapons, which is good news for the Syrian people.

I believe that Assad is going to lose this war. He now has a choice.

He and his family can retire to Russia and live a luxurious life OR HE CAN HAVE SYRIA PRIED FROM HIS COLD DEAD FINGERS.
