(Quietly) That's the truth. We want to be all day rah pro democracy, which is great, but there's nothing democratic about civilians being bombed, babies starving and a whole generation growing up in refugee camps. It is messed up, but if you can't support the rebels overthrow of the government and properly make that happen, installing a new ruler then your rah rah pro democrat ideology is useless. We've been propping up not so great guys in the Middle East for years realizing they're the lesser of a few evils.
