What does the world get from Obama's appeasement? A cocky Assad. What did the world got from Chamberlain's appeasement in 1938? A cocky Hitler Some leaders refuse to look at the history, as soon as they give in to the murderous dictators, they are looking for a big trouble.

assad isn't hitler, and there's little chance of him trying to conquer the world. not deposing assad may in fact be the smartest thing obama does during his presidency, because overthrowing assad would only put another al qaeda-affiliated bunch of islamist fanatics into power. smartest, just not the most moral - allowing the opposing forces to kill 100,000+ innocent civilians without the supposed "duty to protect" that he invoked in libya.
