When will the West wake up and realize that the only solution to the Syrian tragedy is the defeat of the numerous groups opposing Assad ? The West want Assad removed but have yet to conclude who on earth would replace him and have the support of the Syrian people, as indeed Assad has enjoyed. It is inconceivable to even begin to shortlist a successor to Assad.
The West made a dreadful error of judgement in throwing its support behind numerous opposing groups, rebels , Jihadis, men without a charismatic leader.
Assad will survive because only he can put an end to this massive tragedy.
WEST WAKE UP !
"Bashar Al-Assad Has More Popular Support than the Western-Backed “Opposition”: Poll
In the view of Syrians, the country’s president, Bashar al Assad, and his ally, Iran, have more support than do the forces arrayed against him, according to a public opinion poll taken last summer by a research firm that is working with the US and British governments. [1]
The poll’s findings challenge the idea that Assad has lost legitimacy and that the opposition has broad support.
The survey, conducted by ORB International, a company which specializes in public opinion research in fragile and conflict environments, [2] found that 47 percent of Syrians believe that Assad has a positive influence in Syria, compared to only 35 percent for the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and 26 percent for the Syrian Opposition Coalition.
