Meh, people including me were frothing at the mouth in the 90's when the guy was gassing the Kurds and sheites. Looks like we got what we wanted and it wasn't the best thing for many people here and there.
I take a much more pragmatic view these days around places like Syria, Lybia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, etc. I no longer think in every case its best to rush in and kill the dirt bags. The alternative maybe worse, and usually is as these Islamic fanatics love a destabilized country more than anything.
As much as I hate to say it, we may need to put up with these guys and stomach the minor atrocities vs. bigger ones and a less safe home country.
