I think you are very naive to believe the people when they say they support Assad, it is like in the communism, if someone says otherwise he would disappear...
Syria is cruel dictatorship.
The people might be very nice but they are not free.

Very naive? Fuck you.

I don't support the government, I'm just telling people the opinions of those on the ground in the capital.

It's not like they have spies in the bloody pubs. It's not like communism at all - free markets, there is no censorship, people can move around. Many of the locals we talked to were educated and well travelled, not worried at all about "disappearing" when they give their opinion over a pint. WTF?
I have two Syrian Sunnis in my class here - one of whom worked at the UN for nine years. Both attended a pro-government demo in Dublin. But I guess they attended attended out of fear, right?

Many people in Damascus support Assad - fact. I can tell you that from first hand experience, not by tinkering on a keyboard like yourself.

What the hell would you know?

Go there and get clued in, otherwise shut the fuck up.
