At this point, anything is better than what is going on in Syria. Any leader that would use military force on civilian targets should be removed from office and hung.
It’s not like Syria was friendly to the US or Israel. We are not losing an ally like we did with Egypt. Syria and Lebanon are very different than the Gulf and North Africa Arab countries. I’m not sure they would go the hard core Islamic route.
Syria is a place we don't have a dog in the fight. We are going to have to respond to the result after it happens.
If Assad stays Iran wins. If Assad falls Al Qaeda, and Saudi Arabia wins. We have to see how it plays out.-Tom
