Editor: I was outraged by the lack of any fundamental knowledge of the situation in Syria displayed by Tony Smith, (The Times Oct. 16)
Does Mr. Smith really believe that President Assad kills hundreds of thousands of his own citizens for no reason?
Does Mr. Smith really think you can make sense of the Middle East by watching TV? Does Mr. Smith know that the majority of people in Syria support Assad?
The people of Syria only want the people who are fomenting this violence to stop funding rebels who are committed to overthrowing the government of Syria.
