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
The UN could have aided with humanitarian intervention to mitigate Assad's excesses. But this would have required a majority vote by the UNSC, which itself would have required a strong moral case.

Again, incorrect. Security Council Resolutions 1483 (2003), 1511 (2003) and 1546 (2004) make regime change a possibility if a good moral case can be made.
