Of course, if western powers were that keen on toppling Assad, there are many things we could have done to do that as I said before. U.S refused to intervene militarily against Assad even after he crossed the "red line" using chemical weapons against his people, U.K parliament rejected imposing a no fly zone (destroying Assads air assets i. e indirectly toppling the Regime)over Syria and only approved air strike targeting ISIS. France is exclusively focus on stricking ISIS targets from its aircraft carriers and base in the region . So all biggest power despite all the talk have not been that keen on targeting or removing Assad practically, eveb when they had the opportunity several times to do so.It does not matter how exactly you support the opposition, only with money and arms or with carpet bombing in the style of the Second World War - it is important that you are on its side, definitely. And definitely you are oppose to Assad. Western leaders have repeatedly threatened Assad with direct military invasion, but have not done so. That is what really matter and that is what people of the planet see.
However, in the best tradition, you can announce the most beautiful, the most profitable and the most plausible excuse why you lost.
The most suitable excuse, in my opinion, is that you are not very much interersted in overthrowing Assad.
So your point is mute. You saying we lost is even more laughable, for one over half of Syria is out of control of the government, and two we haven't lost anything whatsoever Syria was never part of our sphere of influence and it has nothing valuable to offer us as I said before. Thirdly, we have been reluctant to really get involved in Syria because of this, reason you see our military support for the rebels has been very very limited.
Lool you say most greedy tyrants often say to their people I.e: its either me in power forever or total destruction. Lol. I have heard this countless times before. That of course is total bullshit.I think it is a good thing for Syria that Assad is clinging to power. His government is the last thing between Syria and total anarchy. Syrian rebels (if we can even call them that) have proven over and over again that they can't get along with themselves. Removing Assad at this point means we will have another failed state like Libiya. Even now, the remaining rebels in Aleppo can't come to terms and show a united front. I just red in the news that one group has attacked the other to seize their arms! This is all happening while they are being defeated!
I agree there should be elections and the party that Syrian people want (not KSA, not Iran, not Turkey but only Syrians) claim power. But that should wait until the war is over and order restored.
Syrian protests just like every other uprising during the Arab spring all started peacefully by the pool demanding for change and a departure of their tyrants from power. It's Assad deacon to brutally suppressed and kill protesters and any opposition to his rule which made the country turned into a civil war. In short, it's because of him that there is chaos in Syria today.
Any tyrant that destroy his own country's institutions, deliberately keeps them weak to remain in power, oppresses/eliminate any opposition to his rule, creates a weak state purposefully to cement his power, prevents the establishment of a stable political system for power transition etc is a despot and criminal. Since such leaders only think about themselves and their family not the country. In such a case, it's only a matter or time before the county falls into chaos a some point in time . No man should be above a country and nobody is born be president forever, that's a fallacy.
So if not for ASSAD greed we wouldn't be here in the first place. PERIOD.
If you can't solve your country's people internal or leadership problems then foreign powers will "help" you do that.lol. So it's either you fix your country's political system or expect others to get involved when trouble starts. That's the issue.
