'Merica gets punked by russians: Europeans better learn to speak russian

Regardless of everything you just said, you don't prop up a guy who is barrel bombing his civilian population. You take him out. If your looking for a perfect solution your being naive. It's a mess. That's clear. It's all bad choices. That doesn't mean you should sit back and allow it to happen.

First, we only take out bad guys if it's in our interests. Otherwise Saudi regime change would have been on our agenda for the last four to five decades. Secondly, I'm not looking for the perfect solution, I'm looking at the realistic option of not creating yet another terrorist hotspot by removing a secular leader.
