Approximately 500,000 civilians have been killed in Syria’s multi-year civil war

The gas attack killed 70. The war killed half a million. If we are going to get worked up about the one, you'd think we'd get a little worked up about the other.

The war was launched by the Turks, Saudis, Qataris, and Obama's State Department. It has killed half a million people. Its purpose was to bring down Assad. To do that, they recruited jihadis from around the middle east and from muslim populations in the west. The result is that, aside from destroying Syria, they have committed genocide against non-muslim populations that have been there for 2 thousand years.

The rebels are Al Qaeda and ISIS.

There are probably good reasons to bring down Assad, but not when your replacement is Al Qaeda, ISIS, or Muslim Brotherhood. So, in other words, we have killed half a million people and had we won we'd have only made things worse. Is it better to have Assad pointing missiles at Israel, or Al Qaeda pointing missiles at Israel? Is the difference worth 500,000 Syrian lives and 3 million refugees unleashed on Europe?
