    We should not forget that the insurgents aren't thoroughbred democrats either. If you interfere you replace one tyrant with another. The West interfered in Irak and Afghanistan. Are Irakis and Afghans happier people today than they were 10 or 20 years ago? Are they better off? Interfering may make the US feel good: "Hey, we stopped chemical warfare in Syria", but we shouldn't forget that non-chemical bombs have killed far more Syrian civilians in this civil war.
