Why won't this HTML button work?

Answer 1

It is <button type="button" onclick="alert('Bashar al-Assad. The name strikes fear and hate into many hearts, but it didn't always. In fact, Bashar was quite the gentleman before he took power over Syria. Quite unlike his brother, he cared about some human beings other than himself. His brother was groomed for power, so he always got what he wanted before he could blink twice. his brother died in a car crash (thankfully for Syria) and Bashar was put into office at the end of his father's 30 year rule. He is now the "elected president" of Syria. He is technically re-elected every term, but he is because he repeatedly rigs polls and tortures opponents, not to mention gassing rebels. So just why hasn't the US intervened? Is it because we're concerned for the safety of our men and women? Actually, yes. While the little band of militia still working for Bashar are no threat to us, WW3 is. If we attack them, they will whine to China, who has one of the biggest militaries on Earth and just happens to be supporting Syria, and they'll attack us, and France or England or some other decent civilization will attack them, and Iraq will attack them, and BAM! Death and destruction on a massive scale. Bashar al-Assad knows this, but there must be one shred of decency left in his heart, because it seems like he's trying to avoid it. He announced that Syria would be forfeiting their chemical weapons. Will they? You'll just have to wait and see.')">Bashar al-Assad</button>
