The source isn't credible, it is completely bias. The casualty figures are inflated and they gloss over the atrocities committed by the rebels.
Why and how isn't it credible? Again, I should take the word of a random person on the internet who likely has no contacts in Syria and is contradicting the reports from various organizations who actually do have numerous people on the ground? No thanks.
Here's an infographic that uses another organization to show that the percentages attributed to each group for civilian deaths (between 2011-Jan 2015) are roughly the same even though they only include those people they can verify the names for:
Supporting Assad is rational and justified based upon the alternatives.
If you say that after going through this thread, there is nothing I can say to you.
There is nothing left to say to those who continue to dismiss, trivialize, excuse, ignore, and/or justify Assad's & his allies' atrocities. These include the chemical attacks ("never again"?) that continue up to this day, the barrel bombs, the cluster munitions, the intense starvation, the sectarian ethnic cleansing, the details that emerged about Assad's prisons early on (Caesar's photographs), the bombing of residential areas with no military targets, the bombing of hospitals, the attacking of first responders, the attacking of refugee camps, the shooting of peaceful protesters, the torture and mutilation of people (e.g. the regime cut off the penis of a 13-year old boy, shattered his knees and jaw, gave him cigarette burns, likely electrocuted and whipped him, and killed him), and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
