I totally agree with you except I do mind these attacks. I hate that any Syrian on any side is being killed. I pray this conflict ends soon for the Syrian people have suffered enough. I just think this was badly handled by Bashar.
Firstly, I will admit I don't know a whole lot about the Syrian conflict except from Day One I knew that that conflict would benefit Israel and that it may well be Israeli, working through America/Turkey/GCC who would ignite the Syrian conflict: Syria was the key in enabling Hezbollah to stand up to Israel in the 2006 conflict and had to be neutralized. And what better way than to pit Muslims against Muslims??
As to Assad's actions against the rebels, Pakistan, Turkey, China... just about any country which sees potent armed rebels inevitably overdo their suppression of rebellions. Bashar's own father Hafez al Assad had brutally suppressed a rebellion decades ago and no one talks about that now, do they? Not only the victors write the history but at that time there was not much reasons for the Israelis to topple Hafez, but 2006 changed that.
I have also noticed that the Christians in Syria feel safer with Bashar than with the rebels. That tells me something.
