I see no point in any attack unless we can confidently say the outcome will be better after we do it. Syria is in an unresolved civil war, and it is one that may become a sectarian war. How can we be confident that any action, even total decapitation of the Syrian military commanders, would end the civil war? I do not think the people fighting for Assad are doing it because they’re mind-controlled or he’ll shoot their dogs, I think a large number of them support him. They will not just lay down arms if he is killed.
