Assad May Follow Gadhafi


Syrian President Bashar Assad is either unwilling or unable to recognize that Syria’s freedom fighters have created a momentum for change that is unstoppable. In some locations, freedom fighters are so determined to gain their democracy that they have been successful in thwarting other Islamist extremists from getting a footfold. While Assad has had several opportunities to create the necessary conditions for a positive change, he has continued to ignore the pleas for a peaceful resolution opting to use the force of his military against his own people.

Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi tried the same tactics and failed. Assad seems to be heading in the same direction and may ultimately encounter the same sort of demise as Gadhafi. His choice.
