- sam_lowry_ 6y agoI lived in Belarus between 1989 and 1999, I still have the Belarusian passport and I vote. Syria is different. The population of Belarus is fairly uniform, mostly urban and well educated. They are unbelievably peaceful. Just look at the pictures of the protests. No car was burned, no window smashed in 8 days by the protesters. The only people damaging property, beating and killing others were riot police and special forces, and they were bred in the spirit of violence for years. I am still afraid that once peaceful crowds learn the true fate of those missing, they will storm the prisons with bare hands and die by hundreds.
