    To #1 & #2

    So whats wrong with that? Why shouldn’t we let Putin take care of it? Yes if thousands of innocent civilians get killed so be it. At the end of the day more “innocent civilians” (if you wanna call them innocent) will be killed under rebel control then Assad. Don’t kid yourself the country was alot safer and happier under Assad then “moderate rebels”. And if you think for a second that “moderate rebels” exist in Syria you need to get your head examined. Its either Isis or Assad. Pick your choice. We are a domed country if we never learned from our mistakes in Iraq, Lybia, Egypt, and Yemen. Its time to wake up and stop this navitite. We should fully support Putin and let him fight.
