I’m no fan of Iran either, but the Iranians aren’t on a crusade to destabilize the Middle East either. And I suspect their control would be a lot more liberal than the jihadists, and they probably would create enough stability to allow some refugees to actually come back.

Possibly but it would make Assad’s removal a lot more difficult. It wold also worry the Saudis, UAE, Bahrain and a lot of other folks in the Gulf. But I suppose the lesson to be learned is that someone else should have stepped up before the Iranians. Saudis could have done it but I’m not sure it was even considered.
