[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1155118, member: 14668"] Both sides hate us, so our "interests" ought to be limited to making sure that the chemical weapons arent used againt Syrian civilians, Israel or us. Oddly enough, one could make the case that in some ways both we and Israel would be better off if Assad remained in power. Tyrant though he is, he has honored the cease-fire agreement with Israel since the end of the Yom Kippur War, and unlike a stateless terrorist entity he has been rational enough to not use his chemical weapons against us or Israel. Should he ever lose control of that arsenal, whoever winds up with them may not choose to act with the same level of restraint. [/QUOTE]
