Nobody from the outside world said back then, in 2011, "Assad, you're a dictator and we're gonna bomb you"; it was the Syrian people themselves who ultimately got fed up with that hypocritical authoritarian rule who declared war on the regime; a few weeks of those protests made it evident that the regime had become totally unwelcome there; if it wasn't such a bad dictatorship, that would've been enough for that "government" to go away; instead, they started waging a war against their own people ultimately killing over 100,000 civilians as of now; there's already no that Syria that somebody keeps warm memories of, because it has been destroyed by its dictatorial rule; now it's just time to stop the dictator felons from their further crimes, and do some sort of justice on them for what they already have done.
