ISIS is a direct result of our misguided intervention in Iraq which spread like a cancer into Syria and now both countries are broken. Putin's argument against Syrian regime change is our failed intervention in Iraq and subsequent increase in sectarian violence. You will also need Iraq, Turkey, the Kurds, and Saudi Arabia to cooperate in addition to the aforementioned countries at a minimum.
You answered your own question, one which defined my point. The last thing I want to see is another Iraq created in Syria (caused by our government), regardless of who deposes Assad. Putin can stand in a long line of critics regarding our screwup in Iraq.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
