In a perfect world we'd get rid of both of them and continue to support the Free Syrian Army and Kurds, but both those groups are fading fast.

Because the West didn't support them because we can't be seen as meddling! Maybe we shouldn't though. Who knows anymore.

My pal works for an NGO charity setup and she tells me the refugees are predominantly young men cos they're being conscripted into Assads military and then possibly having to turn on their own people but even if they manage to avoid that they're being forced to join IS and if they refuse they and their families are then targeted to be killed. And Assads regeime has killed more of its own people than IS has it seems.

That's insane. Unfixable clusterfuck

I hope Skip Bayless shares his feeling on the subject soon. I've been waiting to hear his thoughts since the moment tragedy struck.
