Most dictators are anti-west, otherwise they'd be social democrats instead of fascists authoritarians. Instead of bombing Syria, we could withdraw support for Israel and have like 1000x the diplomatic and security success with the region.
It is not our job to go leveling playing fields with bombs in sovereign entities, using human rights sporadically to justify it. I don't know how we haven't figured out to just leave the place alone, we just picked up where the British left off fucking all the people around.
