> Assad is much better than what would come with his replacement...<
I think both you and Coulter are correct. Some folks are making the argument that Assad has to go because - among other things - he supports Hezbollah.
Well guess what. If Assad goes, Hezbollah will end up ruling Syria on their own. Yes, Assad might be replaced by a “moderate” government at first. But then Hezbollah (or the like) will sweep that moderate government away.
Just like the Bolsheviks swept away the moderate government that replaced the Tsar.
And if Hezbollah runs Syria, Iran runs Syria, with the majority Shia Iraqi population in the middle.
OK, attack supporters — explain how you can be so sure that none of Syria’s chemical weapons (probably smuggled in from Iraq) fell into anti-Assad hands. Aren’t we obliged to have some hard evidence of this before we attack an anti-ISIS government that had attacked neither us nor its neighbors? You have the evidence? Let’s see it. Sorry, “Trump and McCain believe it to be true” is not good enough.
