Bashar al-assad should stay in power.

Such features are rare on this website. My debate will consist of four sub-points (1-4) and one main point (5). 1. ) the FSA is not well-defined nor do they have control or any responsibility over their actions, 2. ) the only reason the U. S. wishes to aid the rebels in an attempt to destabilize the Middle-east, 3. ) many, at least a large minority, of the rebels are mercenaries, some foreign backed. And many more of them are Islamist fundamentalist Jihadist. , 4. ) the FSA and the various rebel-factions will not be able to form a coercive government, and mainly 5. ) if Assad is knocked out of power or if the rebels are not exterminated then the country will be thrown into eternal conflict and, eventually, forgotten by the media and the public, as always. Point number one, the Free Syrian Army is not a well-defined group and it does not have any control over it's members nor are they responsible for their actions. In reality it is an umbrella network based in Turkey that is extremely liberal with it's membership. If you die in combat and your body is not wearing the Syrian uniform, the FSA claims you into their ranks. If you are an individual civilian who has a gun, the FSA claims you into their ranks. If a video is made and no group or person is universally identified, the FSA takes the video, slaps it's logo and music on it, and claims it into their ranks. Such liberal membership policy causes double statistics in the death toll and ruins the reputation of an individual who isn't in the FSA, dead or alive. As for responsibility, it is obvious that foreign nations ignore the crimes committed under the banner of the FSA. Whether it's stealing, smuggling weapons, executions, torture and other crimes against humanity, the FSA does/will not be guilty of their crimes. Lastly the FSA is quite ruthless, as are other rebel factions. If they approach a male civilian who is fit for or not aiding their general cause, due to black and white thinking, in their eyes if you aren't for them then you're against them. I have seen dozens of videos of innocent men who have been accused of working for Assad by the FSA and executed, all the while the innocent men pleaded that they want nothing to do with this. Where are the civilians' justice? Point two, The U. S. only wishes to topple the Syrian government due to eco-politico reasons, as they care nothing of the civilians. The media and the usage of chemical weapons proves this point. The U. S. has stated publicly that if Assad were to use chemical weapons, that would be a "red-line" that would result in "enormous consequences". Such quick and direct action shows the eagerness of the U. S. to assault Syria. The rebels know this very well. In the past year or so there have been four chemical attacks, yet none were proven to be by Syria, as Syria has willingly moved it's chemical plant away from Damascus for the rebels won't seize it. But the rebels have indeed seized a Saudi-owned chemical plant and has obviously used it against innocent civilians in an attempt to pin the blame on the government. If Assad is not to blame, and it is known that rebels have captured chemical elements and are spreading them in the public, then why won't the U. S. engage or punish those said rebels? Point three, many, at least a large minority, of the "rebels" are foreign backed mercenaries. On top of that issue, there are more fundamentalist factions than there are non-fundamentalist. What ever territory these fundamentalist claim, the FSA and other non-fundamentalist faction would not dare to cross into fundamentalist land because they know they will have to fight them as well. But let me save the remainder of this point for point five. Point four, the various factions will not be able to unify. As said before, these factions are already claiming territory and not allowing certain factions to pass. So although each group has the common goal of removing Assad from power, they are most definitely not unified. And, again, I wish to save the remainder of this point for point five. Point five, if Assad is knocked out of power or if the rebels are not exterminated by the SA then the country will be thrown into an eternal proxy warfare. FSA is in no respected position to form a coercive government. They barely have control over their own people and they are helpless against the growing number of fundamentalist factions who will eventually unite for their common cause against the FSA once Bashar is out of power. You'll have pro-Assad groups combating anti-Assad groups, members of families seeking revenge from their killed loved one (this goes both ways), Iran-backed mercenaries, Saudi-backed mercenaries, the remaining FSA, and al-Qaeda-linked groups as well as many other heavily backed fundamentalist groups, all fighting each other, just as shown in other middle-eastern countries, Syria being the worst. Not only that, but Assad, the state and many other key positions in security and wealth are virtually indistinguishable due to his dictatorship which involves the close relationship between the state and the upper-class. Killing all of the Assad supporters would be like hitting the reset button on the Syrian economic timeline, given that most of their infrastructure is already vastly in ruin. For the FSA to think that they can walk straight into office unopposed while expecting the people to obey their order is a joke. A funny, sad joke. Iran has many U. S. military bases with their guns pointed directly at it, I doubt they would accept another one. Although it is sad to say in such a gloomy situation, the only hope for the Syrian people is if Bashar stays in power for his remaining term (which he added in the constitution due to protest) and neutralize all rebel factions, including the FSA, and then give the people the human rights they deserve. Otherwise there will be no rights, now law; just anarchy. Sources: . http://en.wikipedia.org... . http://en.wikipedia.org...
