There is no good outcome here and there are no good guys. On one side we have Syria's Assad, who we all recognize as a murderous dictator, Russian's Putin, and Iran. On the opposing side we have the so called "rebels" that are made up of jihadists, aka ISIS, Al Qaida, Syrian based terror group Al Nusra, and many others with nefarious ties to evil groups. We need to get out, because we cannot team up with either side unless we are complicit in dealing with terrorists.
