Syria returns Légion d'honneur award to France
Link Source (BBC News) : http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43833652
Syria has returned to France the prestigious Légion d'honneur presented to President Bashar al-Assad, saying he would not wear the award of a country that was a "slave" to America.
The move comes days after France said a "disciplinary procedure" for withdrawing the award was under way.
France recently joined the US and Britain in bombing Syrian targets over an alleged chemical weapons attack.
The award was returned to France via the Romanian embassy in Damascus.
President Assad was decorated with the highest class of the award, the grand-croix, in 2001 after he took power following the death of his father.
"The ministry of foreign affairs... has returned to the French republic... the decoration of the grand-croix of the Légion d'honneur awarded to President Assad," the Syrian foreign ministry said in a statement.
"It is no honour for President Assad to wear a decoration attributed by a slave country and follower of the United States that supports terrorists," it added.

About 3,000 people every year are awarded the Légion d'honneur for "services rendered to France" or for defending human rights, press freedom or similar causes.
The US, UK and France bombed several Syrian government sites on Saturday in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma, the last rebel-held town in the Eastern Ghouta region outside Damascus.
OOOOFFFF

Internal support
Despite widespread opposition to his rule, Assad continues to maintain significant levels of support within Syria.
Such support extends beyond his own Alawite community, and also includes members of the Sunni community who have benefited financially during his rule and have little interest in changing the status quo.
What do Syrians think of Bashar al-Assad?
Link Source (Quora) : https://www.quora.com/What-do-Syrians-think-of-Bashar-al-Assad
As someone who has spent a lot of time in Syria before and during the conflict, I have taken many opportunities to ask this question. Let me begin my response by asking you: What do the people of your country think of your Head of State? Does every single one of you have exactly the same opinion? I am guessing -no. It's the same all over the world, including Syria.
The Western media have given the image of Syria as being a black and white, straight down the middle, for or against, simplistic portrayal of the country, it's leader and it's people.
Here is a brief list of all the different opinions I have come across from Syrians about Assad.
Love the man - Adore him (genuinely)
Regard him as an astute politician.
Had great expectation and hope about him when he first came into power, then he lost the goodwill of the people after he came down heavy at the start of the 'Arab Spring'.
Had negative feelings about him before, but now love the guy because of what he is doing against ISIS
Reluctantly like/respect/tolerate the man because he is the only current answer in the fight against ISIS
Believe Assad is not the problem - it's the politicians behind him. This is usually followed with something on the lines of: We need to change the system, not just the man.
Assad is a politician - and all politicians deserved to be disliked. He is no better or worse than Obama, Clinton, etc.
He is not as bad as his father. He made some changes, but not enough.
He is as bad as his father.
He is worse than his father.
Hate and loathing of the man.
A rebel (who the West are supporting) once told me: We will use the Americans to kill Assad and then we will kill the Americans.
A Syrian soldier (who the West are against) once told me "All politicians - bad. All people - Good."
The real world is not simplistic and Muslims/Syrians are not robots programmed to think one thing. They are as complex in their thoughts and opinions as people from your country.

Btfo and Gtfo. But, please oh please, follow up with your limp dick appeal to *international community organisations, watch dogs and chemical inspector authorities* Who of course fall in line with western thinking and propaganda.
Lol like the UN, NATO or any other western state / inspectors are going to go against the U.S.
Oh and before I get accused of being a Russian sympathizer. I still *love* my country and support my citizens and fellow Service men and women. I'm just not such a fucking intellectual hack to believe the stupidity of my countries political and propaganda machine.
