Agreed, both sides suck, but the Jihaddis have rebranded and are promising amnesty to everyone and a "One Syria" vision.
Who knows if the former Jihaddis have turned more secular and welcoming, but Assad had plenty of chances and fucked them all up. Airstriking and chemical weapons on your own civilians will never go well.

US boots were on the ground in Iraq in massive numbers...it was a war the US was spearheading...
US involvement in Syria is a few dudes with beards in a bunker showing Mohammad a satellite picture and saying "bomb here"

Jihadis lie like H
The Taliban told dumb old Joe that they'd be nice and not stone women and let them go to school
How did that work out?
Assad us better than some fucking towel head true believer

@MuammarGaddafiDawg, true?

Yeah but unlike Afganistan and the inept ANA, in Syria there are two other legit factions - the Turkish ones and the Kurds.
So the Jihad Johnny's are going to be forced to make some concessions.
Syria also has tons of Christians, Alawites, Shias, etc. It's not all sunni cave dwellers like Afghanistan.
They are all united in their hatred of Assad, and Asssad's two dad's Russia and Iran are pretty busy and can't help out too much this time.

Now do Iran. They had Kurds too. And a strong westernized educated population. How did that work out? The commies in Russia were a small minority and yet they terrorized their way to power. The US and western press loved Khomeini and was happy to white wash him.

Lebanon had a vibrant Christian community as well. It was the Paris of the mideast
Now it's a Muslim shithole

The US completely botched Iran and Afghanistan in the 70s, no question

For some reason PGOS forgot to mention the fuck up of Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001- Today. Also, the liberation of Iran's hundred plus billion dollars to help fund the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.
