Who is worse? Assad or ISIS?

If you think it is ISIS, I can prove to you that Assad is worse than ISIS in all ways but one. If you doubt my words state why you do so, identify yourself, and you shall be enlightened by the truth! (or my version of the truth

)

Assad isn't that bad man. Look at his domestic and foreign policies before calling him the spawn of the devil.

I know his domestic adn foreign policies very, very well. I know how his family scooped random people off the streets to torture them to death just to keep the population docile for 40 years. I know how the economy stagnated and how many parts of the country were neglected just to fund his various pet projects. I know how they were pretty much responsible for starting the Iraqi insurgency, and how they assassinated a former Lebanese Prime Minister just because he protested Syria's 20-year occupation of Lebanon.

But the one who drops bombs on innocent people also likes to torture people for months and gouge their eyes out while they're still conscious. At least an IS execution is relatively quick. Especially in comparison. Government ones are deliberately dragged on for weeks, maybe months.

I'd rather take someone with an iron fist than a block hole for a radical group spreading across an entire region and killing thousands left and right for no raisin.

Yes. Real quick.

Pro tip: Probably not a good idea to defend ISIS seeing as they're probably the worst thing since the Nazi's.

If you're comparing to what the government does to kill people (torture them to death over the course of months), yes, burning people alive is extremely quick. If you watched the video where the Jordanian pilot was burnt alive, his ordeal lasted for about 30 seconds before he died.

And there's the one thing that ISIS is worse at than the Government. Their retardedly delusional ambitions of trying to spread across the globe. Though comparing how ISIS and the Syrian Government treats their prisoners, ISIS is more humane. Hell, Assad compares unfavorably even to North Korea in terms of prisoners' rights.

> 30 seconds before he died

I don't think you understand the concept of a quick death. Burning alive is one of the worst ways to possibly die and 30 seconds probably felt like an eternity for them.

Why are we even arguing this? Is it a competition? I'd take the lesser of two evils and only have a hell hole in one small place than spread across an entire land.

Don't be so pessimistic. They'll put so much effort into killing eachother, that whoever wins will be too weak to face their own population who is on the verge of lynching them.

The smaller of two evils is still evil. Both are bad.

Well, naturally, since their ambitions are to spread across the world and terrorize the world, and Assad is only interested in terrorizing Syria. Bigger threat =/= worse though.

I dunno, both are terribad. I say ISIS since they have the potential to spread globally.

In that way ISIS is worse, but Assad is worse in the way that he has terrorized people far more than ISIS has.

Let's just say that both are evil on their own right.

I consider Assad a puppet for his family more than anything else. The guy was a doctor in the UK before being called back to take the presidency, which his family clearly wanted to control through him.

Yeah...

Too bad Maher al-Assad(who most likely runs the show for real) wasn't killed in that bomb attack 3 years ago, and only lost his right leg....
