Nn, I criticize our actions that caused this. If you want to get rid fo them, the best course of action is help Assad restore order.
You OTOH, never answered my question about how you see our involvement bringing this to a good conslusion. What is your end game? What is the victory you envision?
BTW, you are lying when you call me an isolationist. I already said we should confront Iran directly, not by pinpricking their proxies and pretending that if I don't want to be bogged down in every mideast hellhole I'm "isolationist".
Your statements implied isolationism to me. When you say “Why do we have “interests” in Syria at all?” it seems to me that you challenge the idea of our being involved there at all.
“the best course of action is help Assad restore order.”
The downside of that is an Anti-American, Anti-Israeli, Nazi-based, State supporter of terrorism, armed with weapons of mas destruction (who uses them more than any other nation on Earth) in close alliance with Iran and Russia. ...And we are killing ISIS just fine without accepting all that atrocious cost in perpetuity.

I am assuming that you did not see my post #18 before you posted this.
“BTW, you are lying when you call me an isolationist. I already said we should confront Iran directly”
That is an opinion, not a lie. That was my impression, but it may of course be mistaken. I did not mean to mis-characterize your position. Regime change in Iran would be a huge improvement in many respects (notably for Iranians).
