A 'conquest of mercy and love' sounds like how Taylor Swift ended the Eras Tour

[blockocheese]

Really hoping he means it. Syria deserves peace and freedom

With anyone in charge, be it politicians or workplace bosses, you can't trust words, but you can trust results. Lets see where this goes

[IcarusLhooq-bcuq]

❤praying he means it and will be kind to syrias daughters

Saw an interview with him where he spoke of growing and changing from his radical youth.
Dare I have the audacity of cautious optimism?

[CarolMasker]

I love Jon! He makes me smile!! He speaks the truth!! I pray this guy means it & takes care of his people & not be like Assad!!😊

[gloriaf]

I hope this guy is able to do what he has said.
Very often the one that overthrows a dictator becomes one himself.

[neko]

The problem with dictators is that often to enforce the "mercy and love" they obviously must be in control, no matter how many thousands or millions have to die for that cause

[gemiveretheshitwidow]

A conquest of mercy and love huh? Sounds like something America could use right now

[BSmall-yrqx]

The difference between what leaders say and what they do.

[ginnywalter]

Go, Taylor! Keep inspiring the world!

[moko]

my all time fav…mr stewart …never stops being funny😂😂

[cmacneil]

It makes sense in the up is down - down is up world we live in now. ⬆️😵‍💫⬇️

[peggyroane]

I love Jon. He has a special way of telling the truth thru laughter. ❤😅

[nickbroughton]

This man should be commended. He wants freedom and equality for all. There are no americans who cant get behind that.

[johnweiland]

Nobody is in charge. Civil War with at least 4 groups. Lots of blood and no laughter. Maybe lots of crying.

[irisinthelightofthemoon]

THANK YOU! For the life of me I can’t understand why everyone is so chirpy about this!!!

[johngoldsby]

Jon Stewart, bless you for your fantastic sense of humor.🎉😂😂😂😂😂

[stevef.]

Taliban said the same kind of stuff when they took a over Afghanistan.

[jamessalomon]

I learned a long time ago that actions speak louder than words. There is a long history of leaders saying one thing and doing the opposite. This isn't a knock on the leader of the current Syrian government. It's an observation about what people in the real world do.

[RQ--dgne]

A “conquest of mercy and love” is still a conquest
