I had a close Fren from Syria.

He said that everyone loved Assad.
That the whole rebellion was a hoax.

That there were a few years with drought, so many farmers were unhappy about that. And that is when CIA went into Syria and exploited this anger as to form an opinion against Syria.

But they were still less than 0.1% of the general population. Not representing Syria.
