We’re on the wrong side in Syria.
Same mistake we made with the Shah, Saddam, Kadaffi, Mubarak. Where else?
These dudes were bad, the alternatives much worse.
The population in the ME need an iron hand to keep them in line.
The idea of transforming them into democracies, peace loving , tolerant peoples is a pipe dream. A crack pipe dream.

Exactly. Mubarek and Col. Kadaffi were both opposed to the muslim brotherhood. Yeah, they were bad, but not half as bad as the dudes who rode in behind them.
