Hey jmc247.
I'm curious, you said before that the time to get rid of Saddam in Iraq while ensuring a soft landing was in 1991, and the following decade destroyed any possibility of his removal not being a bloodbath. Would you say we're seeing a similar dynamic now in Syria, e.g the time to get rid of Assad easily was 2012 and now the civil war has guaranteed any future collapse of his regime will be catastrophic?
