Assad is responsible for the largest refugee crisis in the world. The fallout and shear scale of human suffering caused by him and his brutal authoritarianism is almost unfathomable. So, yeah he's pretty bad. More on reddit.com

So when the UN simply seeks evidence for chemical weapons use, Assad is awesome because the UN didn't directly blame him. When the UN directly blames him; misdirection by bringing up Americans and Bush.

I truly wonder what Assad has to do to earn reddit's hate. Does he have to kill a cat? Because he probably has.
