President Putin has lately demonstrated how the problem MUST be dealt with. He has been successful in bolstering the Syrian Army against the terrorists....."good" ones and bad ones.

"Liberal" interventions in similar circumstances have failed miserably and dangerously (Iraq, Libya, and if it had been possible Syria).....If the recognised government of Libya had been supported against the terrorists, the situation in the Middle East and North Africa would now look completely different.
I am amazed that you STILL think support for "the Rebels" and the removal of Assad would have provided a different outcome than what was to befall the people of Libya......incredible!
