Overthrowing Saddam led to civilian deaths, but letting Assad stay in power shows exactly how letting a dictator reign also leads to civilian deaths. Unfortunately there's no easy answer, but blaming the U.S. military isn't one either. There's a whole plethora of people, even in the U.S. security apparatus, that are in line ahead of them.
