Why do we want war with “tin pot” dictatorships that were FAR better at crushing radicals than we’ve been for 14 years?

It is about respect through strength. Crushing radicals by Assad was only physical and very much localized. But overthrowing an entire leadership will bring back the feeling of the superpower willing to flex its muscle. Once the US instills fear, it will be respected. Sunni Arabs are already singing Trump’s praises. They only understand brutal force. Trump is showing that. At least I hope so.
