Remember, very few man are born evil, many can be made that way by circumstance.

Cmon man, one guy is a brutal dictator, the other guy eats people.

Yes, but he eats people BECAUSE of the brutal dictator - so we have a guy who eats people and a guy who makes other guys want to eat people.

The brutal dictator is actually making people evil - so HE'S the one who needs to go.

Really? Then how come most Syrians aren't into cannibalism?

When you suddenly get the urge to eat someone's parts on camera while your frat friends chant, chances are you were always a giant thunderkunt.

I don't know, how come more Syrians aren't fighting for IS?

People are different, have different breaking points and go different ways. If he joined the FSA then chances are he started out loathing the abuses of the regime and signed up to stop them, which tracks with the first recorded image of him holding out an olive branch to a tank.

What did he see to make him want to eat the heart of his enemy? I don't know - it could be children dead from gassing, it could be the result of one of IS' slave auctions, all those young girls raped.

My point is, Syria is where it is because Assad chose to go down in flames and has escalated in his brutality, if this man has become a monster then that's because of Assad.

Also, you don't know what his moral lines are - he may be into eating the hearts of men he considers evil for his crimes but might otherwise be very moral. That's not to say it's not monstrous, but eating ones enemies does not translate into mass murder, rape, tortue, or brutality in general.

Fear justifies everything for men.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe they are capable of seeing the IS for what it is?

Okay, so at which point is it okay to eat a random captured enemy soldier? Note that he wasn't eating Assad's heart. The victim was just an average Alawite schmuck press ganged into Assad's army. Did he really deserve to be eaten?

If he ate Assad's heart, I would understand.

Once again, he became a monster while most didn't. The problem is with this guy.

Well, I'm not quite sure why you're so eager to justify this guy's actions. I see no justification for them, since the victim was not Assad.

All I'm saying is that this guy is a symptom, Assad is the disease so it's Assad you have to cut out to save Syria.

Just be sure not to kill the patient in the process.

You are just making things up. Basically you are attributing what is inside this guys head when you haven't even met this guy. By doing so you are excusing his behaviour.
