We didn't like Asayd. So we backed the rebels; sorta like Iraq, but we allowed the locals to battle the leader. But in Syria a faction of the rebels wanted more than just overthrowing their country's leader; they wanted to spread their American-backed power. 

So we are in a tough spot. The folks we backed split. We like half of them and do not like the other half. Perhaps we should just let militant leaders lead these ME countries.
