Daniel Pipes: The Case for Backing Assad
By Daniel Pipes
April 12, 2013 “Information Clearing House” -"National Post" - American foreign-policy analysts agree that the capabilities of Syria’s Assad regime are continuing to erode, making a rebel breakthrough and an Islamist victory increasingly likely. In response, I am changing my previously stated policy recommendation from neutrality to something that causes me, as a humanitarian and decades-long foe of the Assad dynasty, to pause before writing:
Western governments should support the malign dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad.
Here is my logic for this reluctant suggestion: Evil forces pose less danger to us when they make war on each other. This (1) keeps them focused locally, and it (2) prevents either one from emerging victorious (and thereby posing a yet-greater danger). Western powers should guide enemies to stalemate by helping whichever side is losing, so as to prolong their conflict.
