for ISIS and other extremists who would be much worse.

I am not well versed on the conflict there but this would seem to be a very succinct and accurate assessment of the situation.

I hope to hear more from her on this.

Assad is an evil Dictator. He has killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians in a sectarian war. Assad has to go just as ISIL has to be eliminated.

Tulsi Gabbard shines,I would also include that seeing countries as business ops, really helps to create anti American Islamists.
