I have absolutely no love for Assad

In fact, I have written about those atrocities that have been going on for a long time here and here as well as on numerous occasions about Syria's rather bloody and destabilizing involvement in Lebanon. The sooner the Assad family is out of power the better. BUT. We have a problem. Who will replace them? I am not that certain about the democratic and human rights credentials of the insurrectionists. Here is a story that should chill most people's blood.
