If Syrians want to rebel against him, we have as much right as France did when they supported us, to support them.

And that resulted in England declaring war on France.

At the time France supported us in our revolutionary war, it had been in and out of war with Britain for centuries.

So, France might have thought it would be inevitable that it and Britain would get into another one.

Perhaps your point is that we risk war with Assad’s sponsors, Iran and Russia.

1. Trump didn’t get us into Syria. We have Obama to thank for that.
2. Withdrawal from Syria has risks of its own.

I’m putting my trust in Secretary of Defense Mattis as to what we should do about this hell of a mess we’re in. The fact of the matter is that our soldiers more than anyone else bears the cost of politician’s miscalculation.
