Best Answer

The United States supported and continues to support the values that led to the original Arab Spring Protests in Syria. These values included campaigning for more democracy, developing economic self-sufficiency and equality, freedom to criticize the government, unified Syrian citizenship (as opposed to ethnic and religious loyalties), and transparent government. After a few weeks, the regime decided to open fire on the protesters, thus leading to open conflict. The US broke off relations with the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad when it became clear that Assad was repeatedly targeting Syrian civilians and was not interested in reconciling with them. Rather than support such an oppressive regimes, the US chose to oppose the Syrian government rather than support it.

If the DPRK is really supporting the Syrian Arab Republic then how can we get the North Korean Government to Stop without pissing the Supreme leader off and he retaliates in the worst way possible?

North Korea is supporting the Assad Regime, but the amount of support is minimal and not really worth prioritizing. Most of the Assad Regime's current support is from Russia and Iran. However, North Korea could be convinced to ignore Syria for benefits in AID negotiation come March.


Since the Republic of Iraq is supporting the Syrian government how can we get the Iraqi Government to stop after ISIS is Dead so they don't kill The FSA?

The Assad Regime and the Iraqi government are coordinating in order to try to limit the strength and disposition of the Islamic State, which is the key threat to the Iraqi Government currently. As a result, coordinating with the Assad Regime and supporting it is key to the very existence of the Iraqi Government. There is no action I can conceive of, short of putting Coalition boots back on the ground, to reorient Iraqi policy.

After the death of Hugo Chávez is Venezuela still supporting Assad and if they still are how can we get the Venezuelan Government to stop?

Venezuela is not currently and under Chavez was also not financially supporting Assad, the "support" is ideological. Venezuela is simply choosing to stand with Iran and Assad because doing so puts them in an Anti-American coalition and Venezuela harbors antipathy towards the US because of historic US interference with Latin American politics and the US opposition to socialist regimes. Since Venezuela's support is non-monetary, it makes little sense to focus US policy on courting them to avoid Assad.


There are rumors that the Castro Regime is supporting the Assad Regime if that's true then how can we get the Cuban Government to stop?

Cuba is not financially supporting Assad, the "support" is ideological. Cuba is simply choosing to stand with Iran and Assad because doing so puts them in an Anti-American coalition and Cuba harbors antipathy towards the US because of the US support for Batista, attempts to overthrow the Castro government, and the embargo which was only recently dropped. Since Cuba's support is non-monetary, it makes little sense to push this issue in negotiations, primarily since the US and Cuba have many larger issues that they need to deal with as regards normalizing relations.


Why can't the UN notice what is going on in Syria and try tho help the people and stop the torture?

Since Lebanon is supporting the Syrian government how can we get the Lebanese Government to stop?

The Lebanese support for Assad primarily comes from Hezbollah control in the government. If Sunnis and Christians in Lebanon were able to strengthen the national army and oust Hezbollah from government power (this is nearly impossible because Hezbollah has always been more powerful than the national Lebanese Army), the position of Lebanon would probably move closer to neutrality.

Why is Barack Obama bombing Syria?

He really doesn't, based on statements he has made. He has said that military force would be a last resort, if Syria's president refuses to stop using chemical weapons against his own people. The majority of the world community long ago agreed that the use of chemical weapons is forbidden, so President Obama said that since it was indisputable that Mr. Assad had used these chemical weapons, there had to be consequences. However, Mr. Obama repeatedly stated that he prefers a diplomatic solution, and if there is such a solution, there will be no military response. If no diplomatic solution can be reached, then he would be willing to consider a limited military action, directed against the places where these weapons are produced or stored.


There are rumors that Bouteflika's regime is supporting the Assad Regime if that's true then how can we get the Algerian Government to stop?

Algeria is not financially supporting Assad, the "support" is ideological. Algeria is simply choosing to stand with Iran and Assad because doing so puts them in an Anti-American coalition and Algeria harbors antipathy towards the US because of how the US has chosen to resolve the Western Sahara situation. Since Algeria's support is non-monetary, it makes little sense to massive unwind US policy, risk destabilizing the Maghreb, and harm relations with key US allies in the region (Morocco and Spain specifically) in order to appease Algeria.


Why is Bashar al-Assad bad?

Answer 1Bashar al-Assad is a horrible person and violent leader. He represents a minority government of Alawite Shiite Moslems, who represent less than twenty percent of the country, depriving most of the citizens of Syria from having enough to eat, viable infrastructure, and Rights and Freedoms. He has periodically engaged in the violent repression of both the majority Sunni Moslems and Christian minorities. He is currently (as of April 2012) shelling the city of Homs because the Arab Spring Rebellion is holed up there and has no regard to the many civilians in his line of fire.Answer 2Because he is killing the people of his country just to stay president. He is also denying the fact that all these innocent people are getting killed, and he is always promising to make changes and stop, but he doesn't.
