Maybe they are fighting against Assad .... Which just tells me that Assad is the side I want to be on in this scenario.
Neither is a good thing for a Syria. It's like saying you'd side with Pol Pot, Stalin, Hussein...etc. It's not like either of those options is better than the other. I do understand your point though as far stability goes. We should never have invaded Iraq, Iraq I'm sure wishes they still had Hussein. He wouldn't tolerate ISIS. However Syria is a bit different, Syria's Civil war started with the Arab spring, long before ISIS. Which means Syrians weren't happy with Assad already. Unfortunately the disruption that the rebels created allowed ISIS to gain a foothold and then traction. I certainly don't claim to have all the answers but it's a freakin mess over there and I certainly wouldn't support Assad or ISIS.
