Even though the US might have been backing jihadists, and even though I have called them on it, that doesn’t mean that Assad is a good guy.
This is a war with evil actors on just about every side, and Assad is one of the worst of them.
Assad was/is bad.
ISIS is pure evil. And must die.
This Assad is not his dad. He left and became an eye doctor in London and basically came back because the alternatives were not very cool. And though elections there are likely more corrupt than those in Philly, he at least has one. Saudis don’t.
