Russia and Iran are helping Assad. Are you equating the US as the moral equivalent of Iran and Russia?

Do you believe Obama’s morals are any better than the Russians or Iranians? According to recent events, Obama has great trust in the Iranians.
Obama had us help overthrow Libya. HE WAS WRONG. Obama helped the muzzie brotherhood overthrow Egypt. HE WAS WRONG. Obama screwed up Iraq. HE WAS WRONG. Obama is on the wrong side of the Israel - palestinian issue. HE IS WRONG. Obama is wrong on almost every issue. I don’t trust him.
The Syrian government was attacked by terrorists. What do you think Assad should have done? What do you think the US government would do if attacked by terrorist?
Should we be opposed to Russia helping Iran with nuclear technology since we provide weapons to Israel?

You mention moral equivalent in one paragraph but in the next you seem to forget that we have just now given a pass to Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The moral equivalent of our current leaders is meaningless to me.
I believe the US morals are superior to the Russians and Iranians. Obama has 500 days left in office. I support stopping Russian and Iranian influence in the Middle East. Greece should have complied with our request.
Obama had us help overthrow Libya. HE WAS WRONG.There was an ongoing civil war in Libya. We led from behind. The French and other NATO countries took the lead. They were the force behind intervention because of oil interests and refugee flows into Europe thru Italy.
Ghadaffi was a murderous dictator, but he was a stabilizing force. Whether he could have won the civil war without NATO intervention is conjecture. No doubt there would have been a bloodbath if Ghadaffi won or lost. Knowing what we know now, it was a mistake to help in his downfall.
Obama helped the muzzie brotherhood overthrow Egypt. HE WAS WRONG.
I don't know how much help the US provided. Clearly, the majority of Egyptians wanted Mubarak out. We did support the generals behind the scenes. As it turned out, the MB is out and we are now normalizing relations with Egypt including giving them arms and aid.
Obama screwed up Iraq. HE WAS WRONG.
Failure to secure a SOFA agreement paved the way to the current situation where we now have 3,500 advisers on the ground trying to snatch back a victory squandered by Obama. The Iraqi government is also partly responsible because they rejected a SOFA.
Obama is on the wrong side of the Israel - palestinian issue.
As are most of the Dems.
The Syrian government was attacked by terrorists. What do you think Assad should have done? What do you think the US government would do if attacked by terrorist?
BS. The revolution started internally by the Syrian people who were trying to overthrow a tyrant. The outside influences came later. The initial uprising was by patriots, not terrorists. Unfortunately, we didn't intervene at that point and help them.
To equate a murderous dictator like Assad to the US government shows again your attempt to equate the US morally with a dictator. Hard to believe anyone woud be siding with Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers. If Israel had not taken out Syria's incipient nuclear facility, conditions would be much worse.
