I agree.
Syria is a mess. There are no good guys present there - or at least none I’ve been able to clearly identify.
Let both sides fight it out as long as they want to. If they’re killing each other off and the Russians are blowing millions of dollars trying to prop us Assad, that’s fine with me.
I'll go off the deep end here.
For generations the Assad family, admittedly not good people, protected the Christian minority fiercely. Then, a bunch of rebels take over part of the Syrian territory and their first act of celebration is to slaughter those poor people like sheep. Do I like Assad? Hell. No. But, compared to what he's fighting, not only should we not oppose him, not only should we not remain neutral, we ought to fight on HIS side.
To paraphrase FDR, he may be an SOB, but we should make him our SOB.
