No one is saying that though, are they? No one here is an Assad supporter or believes that Syrian Baathism is a good way in which to run a country. It's just obvious what sort of intentions NATO has when NATO simultaneously arms a rebellious majority (majority here is questionable in the case of Syria) claiming to fight for democracy in some countries while arming the Saudi and Bahrain militaries while they crush their own pro-democracy protesters.
There's no majority at all, the Syrian govt still has the support of a majority of it's population, at least in a head-to-head with Al-Nusrah and company. One poll I saw had 70% pro govt, 20% neural 10% rebels (this was from liveleak so not to be taken as gospel, obv) but regardless I'd say it's majority that supports the regime - the regime wouldn't have lasted this long without a large chunk of the population backing it. It's always worth remembering that when you hear the hawks try claiming to be agents, duty-bound to act on behalf of the people of Syrian, who are begging for the west to invade their country.
