Donald Trump manages to be more sensible on Syria than Hilary

Although, when your argument boils down to "at least the guy using chemical weapons on children is protecting my interests," I'm pretty sure you lose any claim to the high moral ground.

I certainly don't take the moral high ground. But if the alternative is nothing but unknowns, with factions fighting each other and being more or less radicalised to an unknown extent, it may not be from a purely western perspective.

I highly doubt that the Afghanis would have suffered nearly as much under a president Nadschibullāh as they have under the Taliban. I also doubt that at least 165.000 Iraquis would have died violently within the last 13 years under Saddam.
