1. bloodshed and violence
Yousef ,   Palestine ,Hebron   (06.30.12)
Its clear that the bloodshed and violence in Syria is a result of outsiders support for thier own regional and world control ,Russia Turkey , Saudi Arabia and the USA are the main player .World needs new world order to keep our humanity prevailing
2. not simple
Matt   (07.01.12)
Telling him to go was like telling Israel to give back the Golan just because it state by larger powers does not mean it will occur. He won't go so he has to be removed, either by a coup which the transition plan is. Or by foreign intervention. The opposition are not capable of removing him. The US want the GRU to organize a coup and remove him, as the US did with Mubarak. Aside from what Iran says in Assads fate and their support. If the Russian did and it fails which is likely it would result in the regime breaking into factions which means divisions against divisions, make the current civil war look like nothing. Then Russia supplies arms to the coup backers which are not with the opposition but a third faction and Iran supplies Assad, the civil war will just get worse. I don't see this ending soon.
3. Assad would win any fair election
Kipchuk ,   Seattle USA   (07.01.12)
Maybe only by a bare majority, but it still would be in the 50+ % range. That is what the gaggle of opposition armed gangs can not, will not, tolerate: any result Assad clearly wins. They are paid to knock him out of office by any means necessary.
4. from dictator putin to dictator assad with love..

5. The hangman's noose awaits assad, just a waiting game now.

6. The Russian strategic interest
Nora Tel Aviv   (07.01.12)
The mediterranean basin should becoe a Russian basin and not an American one. For that Russia needs the Arab dictators to be incited against the Big and small satans.
7. #1 you are right
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (07.01.12)
And if you look carefully, you will see that these same criminals are causing the war between you and me.
