Really good movie about Syria

[CharlesDavenport]

"Hell on Earth: The Fall of Syria and the Rise of ISIS". Free on Xfinity. First thing that strikes you is what a piece of **** Assad is. Then it untangles who's who. I don't know if the movie was slanted a particular way, but it sure seems like we could have helped the rebels early on and avoided the influx of all the ISIS douchebags. They also talk about how Obama's balking at taking action when he said he would affected the region. Definitely worth a watch.

Today's 'rebels' are tomorrow's Isis. Let them sort their own **** out.

Today's 'rebels' are tomorrow's Isis. Let them sort their own **** out.

That is what I thought. The movie gives you a different perspective on that.
