Trying to remove Assad was a mistake, unless you take the cynical view that we were trying to destabilize europe and weaken the eurozone. In that case it was a stunning success. Besides were past the point where installing a new dictator in Syria will do much for the radical Islam problem in Europe. The question now is how do you fight radical and dangerous ideas (Islamic and otherwise)? Non western countries have faced this problem for 60+ years but the problem is new to western nations and is something we are poorly equipped to handle. The very nature of fighting Ideas is strange to us. I really don't know... Its a very complex and difficult problem
