Western govts had a strong moral case against Assad, but squandered it by trying to depose him through groups like Ahrar al-Sham, who massacre Christians; al-Zenki, who behead children; and Jaysh al-Islam, who "accidentally" carry out gas attacks. I hope our govts learn from this

It's not quite as clear cut as that. What exactly do you mean by "stopping Assad"? Deposing him? then who is going to fill the power vacuum? The jihadis who deposed him, despite the fact that half the country will resent what they did to Assad? Long term thinking is essential.
